Play RAPID games. If you are low on time, play a solid move that does not blunder. Also, focus on improving and sharpening your tactics. When you are low on time, look for ways to activate your pieces and bring position into most suitable style for you.
TACTICAL STYLE: Look for ways to create attack or counterplay.
POSITIONAL STYLE: Activate and maneover your pieces to the point where simple inaccuarcy can lead to tactical attack for you. Bring position into endgame. Study endgames! Endgames are most important.
