Honestly just thinking about what your opponents move is before you kvoe a piece is very useful

Try to look at the worst case possible situation instead of trying a tactic (that might not work ) due to lets say a fork at the end basically try to think two moves ahead (that's really difficult to do 100% or the time ) so it won't be just you who struggles with it your opponents will to most of the time

One tip I have found extremely useful is writing down your move (in algebraic notation) before you make it. It’s almost magical how well it works for me. If you don’t have a pen and paper with you, pretend you are writing it down.
Playing longer games (more rapid, less blitz) and solving more puzzles always helps, at tedious as those may seem.

Hope this helps!

Longer games can make less blunders but those rapid players are goofy lol at least blitz it makes sense due to time pressure

I recommend trying to find some balance where you improve the most some work well with rapid others with blitz and bullet I preferably improve with blitz but others sometimes do not the biggest tip is try to figure out what you did wrong and try to figure out a way to change your playing style in order to not do that again (basically work snar tand hard ) focus on your middle games and endgames and how you play not just what an opening book tells you (even if it can be helpful )

Defensive skills and being able to win down a piece is highly underrated keep in mind if you blunder your opponent (not always ) but will alot of the time blunder back usually if a trick works on you it may work on your opponent to even if it isn't successful it is a good try lol
