I also know that one is a secret recipe, i learned masters usually study more than they play.
But it is not fun

When reading your post it does become obvious why my rating stagnated.
When I do tactics I am far too quick trying to hope that I found the solution and just blitz out the move.
When I get in a good position, I don't have enough time to calculate to take advantage of the position due to fear that I will be running low on time. If my opponent doesn't make an obvious bad move I just get stuck positionally.
I know the start but not the continuiation of my openings and its because I just don't put enough time to actually learn them properly. It also means that I have to think earlier than I should have, and it gives me time trouble.
During the first three months I played chess I spent a lot of time trying to learn things and went from nowhere up to almost 1600 during that time, I just don't do it that way anymore.
If you want to improve you have to train a lot , I know that playing games is more pleasing but if you want to improve you have to work a lot . That is how my rating increased almost 500 points from November 2020
