I got this,..
I wouldn’t buy any books initially. I’d play rapid or longer games and review them afterwards. I’d solve some chess puzzles each day. I’d look up opening principles online and learn them. Find a stronger player willing to play unrated games with you and talk about why they are making the moves they are, so you can see how stronger players think and evaluate positions. I’d also suggest looking at each position with the CCT position evaluation method. It standards for checks, captures, and threats. Each time it’s your move, look at any move that checks the king first, then any move that captures something, then any move that threatens something. Doing so helps force you to see and understand the position more, spot any immediate issues you need to look at, and hopefully locate any free material hanging around.

Here's an excellent course that can help you along the way:

Regularly play rapid (15|10 and above) time format games to put your understanding to the test. This is especially important for consolidating basic tactical themes, like undefended pieces, forks etc.
Any extra tip for the beginner
