Finally got 1600

After a depressing two weeks where tilt overpowered the quality of my recent games, I have finally been able to reach the milestone of 1600 rapid elo. However, I do not feel accomplished. as my last few games were still filled with random blunders for no reason, probably a cause of, once again, playing while very tired. For example:

not only did I play bad, but my opponent played bad, so the result is just bad, not good.

Anyway, if you happen to be over my rating, could you please tell me how I can continue to improve past 1600 (don't talk about the game I posted, I know it's bad)? I would like to get to the rating of 1800 before October, which would mean I will have gained 1000 rapid points over the span of one year (I started below 800 on a different account (that I closed)). thank you sirs

Hey even if you made some blunders or your opponents made blunders 1600 is 1600 a great achievement. Now comes a tough  barrier best of luck in your games to come and I wish you many Botez gambits from your opponents haha
