Study endgames.
Studying endgame will improve your overall all play(not only your endgame) as you will know in middle game what positions are good for you in endgame. Endgame study is also a good calculation training.

If you can, read books appropriate for your level.
Always study your opponent's last move
Always look at the whole board to see piece positioning
Before you make a move, check if there is a tactical drawback
