You should ask yourself why you're making these open source web games and bigger games.
Is it to learn the tech stack for some bigger goal, or are you doing it in hopes you gain recognition? Do you enjoy doing it?
That's a really important distinction to make because think about it like this:
Let's say you could do anything you want in the world. No limits here. You have enough money, time, health, everything. Would you purposely avoid doing it to mess around all day?
Keep in mind, I'm guilty of this too so I'm not talking down to you. I know the drill here. You goto bed thinking "tomorrow will be amazing" and then tomorrow ends up being 14 hours of reddit, HN, Youtube, games, some exercise and about 1 hour of productive work if you're lucky.
I've gotten a little better over the years, mainly from reading some books, setting goals, creating habits and working on things that I really care about.
You might get a lot out of some of the books I mentioned in my yearly round up post at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/2017-recap-books-read-podcasts-and-goals https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/2017-recap-books-read-podcast....
