Ok, thanks!
This should be a pinned question. But the consensus advice is focus on tactics (the puzzles here), analyze your games, play slow time controls, and watch videos (my personal favorite is John Bartholomew's climbing the rating ladder). Good luck on your chess!
Play consistently. I like to play at least one 15+10 game per day and its got me from 800 in january this year to 1700. consistency is key

That's a pretty good summary.

Players who improve very slowly, or not at all, tend to focus too heavily on the openings.
All a player the of OP's rating really needs to know about the opening is this:

Most time should be spent playing. After that probably tactics. After that, probably endgames or strategy.
Im new, and I want to learn quickly, is there anything that you guys know of that can get me off to a quick and good start? Thanks!
