Can anyone help with a study plan to improve my rating?

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.

2. Tactics...tactics...tactics...

3. Endgame study

You study hard to be better at chess. You spend hours and hours accumulating knowledge of all stages of the game, tactics, strategy and all - till the cows come home - yet, you see only marginal improvement over the board, if any.

What's going wrong?

"Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals." --Jim Rohn

I took the above few paragraphs from a blog post I'm writing right now.

The problem is that most of us have never acquired the true chess basics.

Math, chess, or any sports whatsoever is more about mindset and character than knowledge. We need to develop an efficient and effective mental procedure early in the learning process. The first and sine-qua-non part of it is excellent chess board vision. It serves to identify the problem we are facing on the board each turn. Without it, no problem can be solved at the board. That's beginning and end of everything...

These two links may help you get a better grasp of the issue we are all facing due to bad teaching in the early, critical period of learning.

Study fully annotated games. Logical Chess: Move by Move by Irving Chernov is a great starter book. I know it's not on chess.com, but it's what worked for me. There may also be fully annotated games on chess.com for players of the 1100 level. I highly recommend you study them.

I have documented my study plan here, it may be of use:
