doing chess tactics

Been doing chess tactics for a while like everyday how I start applying it to my games I'm playing? Any help please

For me I notice it helps because I'm more often looking for, and calculating, forcing moves during my games.

It doesn't mean I'm necessarily winning pieces and pawns with tactics all the time, but I am checking threats (both mine and my opponent's) more often.

Of course learning the patterns also helps a lot. Sometimes when I AM winning pieces/pawns with tactics, it's because I knew to look for a pattern I'd trained with puzzles.

 If you do at least 5000 you should start seeing things you did not see before.

All depends on how youre doing them, how many youre doing, and how often you go back over the ones you know.  

It helps to stick to a particular opening repertoire so you can become familiar with the tactics that arise in those openings. Also it helps to analyze your games with a computer so you can see if you missed tactics in the games you played.  

Looking over games is hard

"Every now and then someone advances the idea that one may gain success in chess by using shortcuts. 'Chess is 99% tactics' - proclaims one expert, suggesting that strategic understanding is overrated; 'Improvement in chess is all about opening knowledge' - declares another. A third self-appointed authority asserts that a thorough knowledge of endings is the key to becoming a master; while his expert-friend is puzzled by the mere thought that a player can achieve anything at all without championing pawn structures. To me, such statements seem futile. You can't hope to gain mastery of any subject by specializing in only parts of it. A complete player must master a complete game ..." - FM Amatzia Avni (2008)
