The title says most of it. I'm curious if there's something I should prioritize learning or working on as someone who is new to chess.

I would say board vision. Watch where you put your pieces, watch where they put their pieces. Are all your pieces safe? What is your opponent trying to do when they move their pieces? Most blunders are from pieces falling into harms way, or missing opportunities.
