Tactics. You can easily reach at least 1500 USCF just by purely studying tactics. Use the tactics trainer here on chess.com and don’t move a piece until you have thought of the entire solution and possible opponent responses.
I will keep drilling away at the puzzles. I feel like I'm doing fairly well. I can manage to stay above 1800 rating on the puzzles, but maybe I'll start to do more of them.

I'm curious, I've had a look at some of your lost rapid games, these are 10 minute games yet you are either resigning or just giving up on a position that is neither won or lost, sometimes with 8 or 9 minutes on the clock, why? Are you aware of that?
I am by no means looking to become a professional chess player, but I have been within a range for 2 years now. I know I have not topped out in rating, but I cannot seem to figure out what I need to work on.
Can anyone suggest some ways for me to figure out what my weaknesses are (besides everything)?
