What I have heard, one should play only long time-controls, do 30 minute tactical training every game, analyse every game one has played first himself and then with the engine, buy/read chess books about openings, strategy etc., possibly hire a chess coach but I have never done this stuff much. I love blitz too much, and I have never analysed my chess game. I did tacticslast time 1,5 years ago, buy a lot of chess books but never read them and I never have had a coach..

Use Tactics Trainer, Chess Mentor and Computer Workout on this site. The Study Plan section is probably going to be just what you are looking for but a lot of the information is in videos which you need a Premium Subscription to view. Good Luck Sealed

Chesstempo.com is free an cool site for tactics (you can turn the clock off if you want). You can of course use just the tactics trainer because you have unlimited amount of tactical puzzles but I'd still prefer chesstempo...
