How to get better at chess from 700-1200 elo?

I have gotten stuck not improving at 700 elo.

No I am a little skilled but I am doing this because of a dare and to help with my depression 

To go from 700 to 1200, the progression is usually:

- Learn opening principles (but not opening lines)

- Practice tactics.  And more tactics.  And more tactics.

i usually at this range didnt do much at all, i just played what i thought was best and trusted my gut even if my moves are bad, openings didnt matter and blunders were all over its fun

Check whether your move is a blunder or not, and do puzzles, and you are 1500.

Thanks for all of the tips, I thought like 1 person might respond.

Here’s some ideas to help you get better.  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move!  

-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move.
