For the level I believe that most people are at, I think the most important things you should do are study, practice, and fixing. I suggest that you: - Practice for around 65% of the time you're trying to improve - Study for around 25% of the time you're trying to improve - Fix your chess for about 10% of the time you're trying to improve But what does that entail? Firstly, I am going to cover the part that takes the least amount of time; fixing your chess. Firstly, I want you to write down how well you feel you focused while you were playing your game. Then, analyze your games quickly. Personally, I feel I sometimes need to understand why chess.com says I played an excellent move instead of the best move. But that doesn't matter. Instead, try to focus on the biggest mistakes you made. If you lose, what mistake or set of mistakes caused you to lose? It probably wasn't something like putting your knight on a square that wasn't very active. No, you probably blundered your queen in one move! Even if your opponent doesn't punish your mistake or you win anyway, if you make a big mistake, you need to fix it. Write down why you did it, and then focus on improving it next time you study and practice. Finding out how to practice is pretty intuitive. However, there is still some advice I can give to you. Firstly, tactics are somewhat a mix of practice and study. As I will explain soon, tactics are one of the most important things you should be studying. However, you also need to do as many chess puzzles as possible! Chess.com doesn't have free puzzles, so I recommend Lichess. Your goal should NOT be to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible. Your ONLY goal will be to get every single problem right!
