LF a chess lesson or direction of sorts

Hi, I'm looking to improve my chess play and after a year of play I feel I am hitting a wall. Trying to dredge through the huge amount of information when it comes to chess is...just daunting and I honestly just have no idea where to spend my energy and effort at this point. I play borderline everyday and have amassed a total of 4000 games in the last year online. 2k on chess.com 2k elsewhere.

Little about my chess, 3 months into playing chess I committed to a few opening moves, As white I have done all my climbing playing d4 leaning towards QG but play D4E4 sometimes when black is sitting back. As black I pretty much stick to the french defense, I frequently transpose into it.

I have a very hard time when I can't find active plans and I struggle with how to respond to aggression. I do try to analyze my own games, most often just my losses, but I'm not quite sure I know how to "analyze" my own games. It looks to me like I just play with little to no plan and then blunder.

I would appreciate any feedback even if its as simple as "you are too low for this to be useful, work on X and X / read X" 

PS. I'm not keen on memorization. 

The vast majority of your games are blitz.  Not sure how you expect to improve, and implement what you're trying to learn into your games when you're moving fast.

It is true I do not play longer than 5 minutes on chess.com. I don't like the fact that my rating for 5 min and 10 min are the same here so my 10 minute+ games are elsewhere because they seperate the rating. I like to have a decent idea of where my strengths and faults are on various time constraints. Presently I have a hard time justifying to myself playing longer than 10 minutes just because of real life constraints. Though I am not opposed to it if I can do it constructively in small doses.

"I like to have a decent idea of where my strengths and faults are on various time constraints."

I will give you the standard answer, of what your faults are:

Not following opening principles.

Missing simple tactics.

Hanging material.

1. train tactics every day (I recommend you to watch Tactic Training #4 Rules for solving puzzles like a Grandmaster by GingerGM on Youtube and then train using his methodology)

2. if you want something to read - great start could be Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca little bit of theory of every stage of the game.
3. play slower games and based on what you've learned try to think about every move you make.

Any resources you care to share that worked well for you on the standard answers?

Awesome I appreciate the suggestions I will check those out.

I especially appreciate this video from GingerGM, this is definitely near the core of my problems, thank you!

I have tried a few longer games, its only 15|10's atm but I'm trying to play this game type for now. I've definitely noticed in longer games my late game weaknesses are way more obvious and just downright abused by better and more resilient late-game fighters. Any good resources online to better understand what you should even be practicing in late game? Or should I just pull up some common winning/drawn end games and play it out vs lvl10 stockfish and its as simple as that?

Just to clarify the memorization bit, I'm just more geared towards wanting to develop my intuition and understanding of the game of chess as opposed to memorizing a line. That's why I stick to essentially one opening, so instead of pouring time into memorizing variations I can learn the variations by getting abused by better players. Which...when I say it that way just gives more credence to the fact I should be playing longer games more often. When you say "longer games" and I say I'm trying 15|10, is that long enough?

I think the book I suggested you is your best choice for almost every aspect of game. If you want to understand gameplay go read it and in meantime practice.

I really appreciate these resources, I'm reading them now

Oh jeez I didn't know this kind of thing existed...I sincerely appreciate you linking this. This should make analyzing those dreaded simple positions I suck at much easier holy smokes. This is gold, again thank you very much
