How to do you "pick up" and "put down" web development????

Hey Y'all, I don't post on here much often, but I think this one is pretty applicable knowing most of the folks on here, if I am anyone to assume...

Some time ago, and man does it feel like forever now that I look at it, I wanted to make a website for websites sakes, along with it I made a Heyspace page and bunch of other whobody things that I never kept with; that's the way alot of things go I know; who the Fu-uF else doesn't do that during their formative years of youth and teenagerism? Which feels weird to say considering that I am still, by most standards; still very young. Here's the ruins of what I had: https://succy-beverage.neocities.org/# (removed most pics out of fear of being taken/reposted).

In any case, I haven't touched those things in a LONG time, and it's been like this for quite a while too! Unfortunately, I thought it was a good idea to be a standing part of society and get degrees in computering that leaves with me little to no freetime; because no engineer I ever met has ever been happy; and that includes me :(. While yes I have alot of Hobbies I've always kept steady work with all of them; but with alot of them I'm reaching a point where it requires the one thing I don't have: TIME AND CONSISTENCY.

My main goal is to make Video Games, made alot of ideas, made alot of assets,developed some slight prototypes, know my coding well but dammit is it hard to do so when College doesn't understand the term "BOUNDARIES" with my time! I used to be able to make assets, write characters, ideas and things and be happy with it but I'm reaching a point yet again where i want to do more but I just CAN'T with this damn place putting my nose to the grindstone 24/7!

Until it doesn't, like a hurricane suddenly there's no storm, but I know it's just the eye of it, and we are swept back into it in about a month or a week; and that's just life for me for a while now; and I've been trying my best to make the most of it; but It's like picking up a complicated game or a very intricate book a year later; you don't remember jack on what you were doing! Yeah that's good for some things but once we have code we need to worry suddenly it becomes very risky to leave that for me a year or months later to remember all over again! It'd be like trying to remember the wiring diagram for a mechanical pinball machine a month after you've got halfway through fixing it! So maybe, I can learn on something easier code wise, or at least not as catastrophic; fire up the old website possibly? but I know this will have the same issues; i just hope not as bad as game-dev.

I know alot of you are in, or were, in the same boat, so how did you pick these things up again after MONTHS of downtime inbetween? or how did you put them down properly?

TLDR; I don't got alot of time to myself these days; but when I do I try to make the most of it, and it's really hard to do that when picking these things up again is a chore in itself. How do Y'all pickup and develop your websites after long hiatuses?, or long term projects that typically contain some code?

sorry for the rambling, just a whole lot to think, and not much in terms of answers... or maybe I'm looking the wrong places online
