Time management and getting every dime you can out of every effort you expend (by double dipping on assets, scenes, etc.) is basically universal to indie and team based game development. The trouble is if the game fails on a big budget team, everyone was still getting fed and taking home a check... Indies, if they don't make a splash... they're courting health problems and eating ramen.
The previous advice, I guess, could be best summarized as my opinion that Alorth needs to find ways to A.) Get more millage out of previously completed work. B.) Make a pipeline for himself that increases efficiency and also leaves the door open to getting more utility out of his environment art and lighting.
