Also, please don't say, stop playing blitz and bullet because those fast time controls are fun. ( By the way, I improve from 500 to 600 bullet in a day. ) 

Stop playing blitz and bullet.

Yes they are fun for you, but if you want to improve - which is basically saying you want to improve your thinking abilities - you have to give yourself time to think moves through. And you're not gonna get that in blitz and bullet. You can still play them when you want, but you'll need to play some slower games too. At one point you will get quicker at recognizing threats and tactics, and then your blitz and bullet skills will improve with it.

analyse your games to see the mistakes (perhaps put it into a free website for analasis) and think why you made that move think why that move was bad and dont make similar moves in the future. also try to reduce obvious blunders (hanging pieces/mates)

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach based and chess book author based in California. 

I have tips to help you improve your chess skills so you can win more games.  

I recommend playing with a slow time control, such as game in 30 minutes.  You need time to think.  Beginners tend to make a lot of silly moves with very little time.  This makes sense since there’s a lot of pieces on the board.  
 

I also offer a  free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com in case you are interested. The book is about asking questions before each move.  
   Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more.  

Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. 

Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more.  I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php  
If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  
I hope that this helps.

You should probably play loads of rapid games and find a good opening without too much opening theory. also, I learned from watching players higher than me to see their moves, such as pushing a pawn in front of a castled king to avoid back rank checkmate, also try to decide when it's the endgame (only pawns and rooks on the board is probably endgame) and try to get an active king.

Tactics, play training games, work on positional play.

Get an opening you can play well with.

You make the same mistakes over and over and over again.  Fix that.

Sometimes doing less is better than doing more. Focus on your chess tactics, cut back on the amount of games that you are playing, get a game collection like Logical Chess Move By Move and play over the games guessing each move for the winning side.

You should play a game and try to calculate the game this way you may reach 1000

My advice is simple: Just play one really good game a day. Put all your energy and brain power into it. I was a 800~900 half a year ago, and it worked really well for me. Good luck!

IMHO blitz is for people who already understand tactics and know the attack lines for the openings they are going to play.  It's very hard to actually improve playing blitz, blitz ruins your game. Really I'm rated about 1400 but my blitz rating is only about 1000.  That's true for a lot of people, blitz ratings are often lower.  The way to improve is to try to see at least 3 or 4 moves ahead. You have to anticipate your opponent's reply, and what you will do then.  Therefore play some slow games and learn you a gambit or two, and a strong opening or three and a strong defense or two.  Learn to anticipate the response, and when you are all revved up on a winning streak, then go knock off a few blitz games for giggles.  Best wishes for good games always!
