What to do first, PLAN, just try and get the main idea of your game on paper or something before you begin making it. Also try to talk with people or ask for testers if you can during the Ludum Dare, this will help greatly for ideas and parts you may need to work on/fix.

Something else not already mentioned is that you might only want to have placeholder art, fx or music so you can get a working game rather than spending more time on them and not having a playable game.

Don’t make it too complicated, and simplify everything.. prioritise and do the important stuff first. Good luck! There’s a book out with more info.. :)
