Help getting my rating up please

Hello, this goes out to anyone who is a high ranked chess player or just anyone in general who was once around 1100 and has had difficulty ever breaking through and moving up.

I have access to the premium membership and all these chess lessons, many of which I am taking...and while I see 'some' improvement, I just dont feel like i'm improving very much.

Can anyone suggest a specific order of what to study and when and how to study it?  There are so many things that I can study and view and read from strategy to openings to endgames to whatever that I don't know where to begin.  

If anyone has a solid lesson plan in mind, please help!  I'm sure others would appreciate it too.  And I've been following the lesson plan outlined on the website but it's just weird in the directions it takes you.  Thanks.

If your have difficulty breaking though 1100 rating point studing probably shouldn't be the main thing you should do. At that stage you should probably just take time to analyze your moves, since people would commonly miss really good moves, or have their pieces get captured prematurley. If you were to study anything I would would suggest some tactics and atleast 2 or 3 openings.

 and again, I think it is crazy for people to struggle with blitz when the solution to their patzer blunders is to slow down and play a time control that doesn't penalize you for deeply thinking about your position. IMHO.

LOTS and lots of similar threads like this, and almost no one does standard.

"take your time" = much less blitz.  almost everyone strong or coaching advises people to do this...

if you will not do standard; my only advice is to do tactic training like crazy.

Stop playing blitz. Play only 30 plus minute games, study your losses. Pick a handful of openings and stay with them for many months and try to get in familiar positions as much as possible. You will eventually start to memorize patterns. Study lots of end games and do a lot of tactics. Do this and you should improve a reasonable amount and most importantly. ..... STOP PLAYING BLITZ.

But what if he wants to be 1200 at Blitz and doesn't care about his standard rating? Playing standard & doing chess mentor lessons should lead to a (slow) reduction in patzer mistakes *in standard*. But he'll still make patzer mistakes In Blitz because he will not have trained himself to think quickly. An 800 metre runner will jog long distances in training, to build essential stamina, but if he isn't also training for speed he will not get anywhere. So he should be doing some standard and bullet training to get better at blitz. 

Why start 4 threads on the same subject on the same day?

Believe it or not, it took people a lot of time to write up the many answers you've already received. 

Stop starting more threads and read the answers you've already received.

Play 100 games of blitz. Study. Play 100 games of blitz. Study. Yay. You have improved. Also go through all your blitz games to see if there were something that you missed.

I improved 600 rating points in 1 year in blitz

*sigh*

Did you do this starting as someone who did not know how to play chess a year ago?

As your homepage is a FIDE card showing you are in the top twenty chess players in Norway for your age, I doubt it somehow! My guess is you were already near a 2000 rating and it was just a matter of playing enough games to get your chess.com score up to your real score. Am I wrong?

P.S. Your FIDE progress chart shows you went up about fifty points in six months, so my comment of "100 points a year" was spot on!
