Have RESPECT for Tactical Refactoring
At times mid-way through a project, you may find it opportune to undertake some "tactical refactoring". This might involve pushing some data structures into a common library project, as they will need to be used in various independent, or co-dependent, systems, such as a client and server program. At these times, you may ask "should I bother". Unless the deadline is five minutes away (and a swift cut and paste will get your system to its target state) it is worth "biting the bullet" and taking on the tactical refactoring challenge. The benefits will pay off swiftly as you extend the program's functionality.
