Sometimes it helps to take a small break, maybe a week or two.

P.S. Lisa, if you're a titled player, why don't you have free diamond membership?

Love the plateau!

Goals and contingencies are important. But they exist in the future and the past, beyond the pale of the sensory realm.

Practice (the path of mastery) exists only in the present. You can see it, hear it, smell it, feel it.

To love the plateau is to love the eternal now, to enjoy the inevitable spurts of progress and the fruits of accomplishment, then serenely to accept the new plateau that waits just beyond them. To love the plateau is to love what is most esssential and enduring in your life.

But what if you hate what you study ?

I'm a Finance student for example. Laughing

Very-very difficult to get better just playing blitz. You might consider slower time controls. And, of course, going back and reviewing your games. Even if you don't want to play slower time controls, you should try the reviewing of your games.
