There is a lot of good advice here, I wanted to add one thing to it. You might want to take a break from blitz, it causes a lot of bad habits. Try rapid for a while, (idk a month? I was told this by a lot of good players), it helps me anyways.
why must you do this
i wanna chat it the chat but i have played 10 time s but it won't let me can you help
Imagine not being able to calculate.
*Cries in Failing Calculus*
Try the Woodpecker method. Spend 5+ hours every day on it for a week. When you come back to play, you'll play with unbelievable energy and all the calculation will come with ease and you'll improve no matter what
Try chess variant. I played 3-check chess and 4 player chess, it's pretty fun...
it may be fun but how's it gonna help my calulation.
Help Calculate?
Sometimes I calculate 2 moves on a good day.
Otherwise it’s about intuition and feel.
One move at a time. But then I’ve been doing this longer than most. Nothing better than experience.
Evaluate the position and decide on a move.
Come hades or high water !
The great Richard Reti once said in an interview that he typically only calculated one move ahead. As others have said, with a strong understanding of the principles of chess, calculation becomes much less important. Still a useful skill, but not the most critical.
variants might help you think outside of the box, I do them all the time.
if you calculate more then 3-4 moves ahead then you are taking things to the extreme
I agree
if you calculate more then 3-4 moves ahead then you are taking things to the extreme
this also means hikaru needs to stop calculating too much. he needs to stop being stockfish on depth=24
everyone here has so many good ways to help out I'm sure at least one of them could help you just keep trying

Sure will follow this, what exactly is the "woodpecker" method?
Good days....bad days......sometimes you feel like you are so on top of things....then you feel totally stupid....,.like the old Beatles song....Let it be.....and start up the next day.
you can study.. learn 4-5 openings.. study until the endgame, so you have a general idea where the game is going.. a good tip is also follow where the enemy pieces are going.. play the 10mins game not the 3 mins, so you can develop confidence and have fun and not feel pressured.. enjoy the game, its a war.. it feels like conquering another kingdom or nation..
sorry, I watched for like 10 minutes and I heard so many swear words, also what if your Ricky rolling me?

I don't know what it's about (I don't follow this Beth Harmon stuff), but it's not a Rick Roll...
or try out a new strategy that could help, and take advice from other players. It helped me soooo much. In fact I used to use the same strategy every time I played.
