Generally you want to activate your pieces (including the king), and restrict your opponent's activity. Learn basic checkmates, basic stuff as opposition, which will help you in basic king and pawn endgames. Oh yeah, learn positions like Lucena and Philidor, you can check youtube for all those things.
By studying. Start by learning the basic mates, about passed pawns
Sorry...and about king activity and activating your king. Learn some basic techniques and ideas for pawn endgames and rook endgames as these are the most common. Another good book is Silmans Endgame Course. There is also a free course on Chessable (google it) called Basic Endgames which is good. Given time and study it will sink in.
Thanks guys :D

Oh thank you... I like the playful style... Levy explains Chess secrets to us. But now I like more Master Ginger Chess video lessons.
( Ginger GM - Chess Grandaster Simon Williams... I have seen five his lessons already).
Ginger did the main thing. He explain how GMs and 2000+ players think during the game.... how they plan it.
