As for analyzing games - you should check your games with the game report feature on chess.com. It’ll give you an objective computer analysis of the position to point out any mistakes you may have made.
For the rest of the stuff I’d say your quality of study is more important than the amount of time you spend.

@KnightErrant97 do you have any sources you would recommend?
I’ve been learning video courses from GMs on ichess.net recently, there’s also a lot of free content from top players on YouTube as well. Chessable is also a good tool for reading chess books. Chess.com has endgame drills where you can practice stuff like the lucena position or bishop and knight vs king or whatever

Also you could just get a chess coach to teach you but that’s the exceedingly expensive option

There is this very good Russian junior Chess player, Pjoschka something if I remember correctly, he is following a great daily routine. Find him and do the same. You also may enjoy the book "Atomic habits". Good luck!
edit: it's not Pjoschka, I can't remember his name atm, add me, and I'll send you a comment as soon as I remember or someone here knows him

@TNRL I go and check out atomic habits! And I would definitely like to know the name of the Russian junior once you remember!

It obviously depends on the time you’re willing to spend. I’d say 3 hours a day should be a minimum. I with that time you can spend 1 hour on tactics, 1hour playing and analyzing your games and 1 hour for chess books about other subjects. I personally try to do 6. I spend 1-2 hours on tactics, 2 hours on opening prep (don’t spend so much time on it) 1h30 books 30min blindfold and playing is very fun for me so I don’t count it as work. It’s effective. I got 800-2200 in just under 2 years

@marqumax Thank you for the advice! I have all the time in the world so I can study all the time. Also 800-2200 in under 2 years is very impressive!

@Wanderungen I made my game settings so the lowest rated player I can play is 25 points below and I’ve noticed it has helped quite a bit!

I play chess against myself. I make one side make some inaccurate moves, and try to take advantage. If somehow the end position isn't good enough I'd back up and try to find a better move. And if I do like my position, I'd back it up and try to find better defensive plans for the other side.

That’s a good idea! I’ve had so many positions where I’m winning but play a move that allows my opponent to equalize
Hello everyone I was wondering what is the best self study plan. How many hours should I put into each subject like Openings, Middlegame , and endgame. What’s the best way I should analyze my games. How many puzzles I should solve a day. Currently I’m rated 1692 and I’m 14 so I can put a lot of time into the game. Thank you for any advice!
