I advise you to go for 1400 through 1700 before 1800+

Ok, slightly more serious answer...

Work on your weakest area, and work on forming good calculation habits.

By "calculation habits" I mean try to find all the checks, captures, and threats in every position. Even beginners do it sometimes, but your goal is to do it for 100% of your moves in 100% of your games, and that kind of habit takes a long time to build.

Make sure the games you play have a time control that's long enough for you to practice this.
