Well, start with the basics.
Something along those ideas I posted in my former post in this thread:
Some people seem to think that you shouldn't play positional until you are very good, but that doesn't make sense. You are just doing it at a simpler level compared with a master player. Basic opening principles like development and taking control of the center are positional ideas. Moving a knight away from the edge on to a better place is a positional idea. Other positional ideas are: Putting rooks behind pawns, open lines and files for your rooks. Anything that has to do with the position. Thus looking for improvement of your position goes hand in hand with looking for tactics and being alert to hanging pieces.
Tactics is the enemy of positional play!
Master the tactics first. (without proper tactics, all good plan will fail, eg, king side attck, )
Once you become an advanced player , 1600+, positional play become more important than tactics!!
Not quite, I think that the relationship is strategy to tactics not strategy vs tactics.
