Im just getting back into building circuits on my breadboard and I want to know if there are any tips from the pros on here to help me on my journey. Also some links to resources for projects would be nice.

These days I mostly apply it to passives. Especially small ones. 0201 are a pain to work with, liable to blow away if you look at them wrong. 0402s are better, but still easy to lose. But if I'm trying to keep size & weight down I tend to need the tiny parts, so it's easier to design to use common values as much as possible and spend $30-40 for a reel of 10,000 of them. I doubt I'll ever run out of 10kΩ resistors!
