Choose a build order. A build order is the sequence in which your buildings are created. Build orders usually set the pace of the early game and determine which units you are able to produce early on.

Scout the map. Use one of your early worker units to find the location of your opponent's base. Scouts are also good for discovering build orders early on and keeping tab on your opponents for as long as they're alive. Likewise, you'll want to take out your opponent's scout as fast as possible.

Save dying units. While some units die almost instantaneously, some can be saved by "microing." Microing refers to clicking a unit that is taking damage and sending it away from the fight, so it can be healed and used again later on. This saves resources (and time) that would have otherwise been spent on creating a completely new unit.
