Given that OP plays 15 | 10, I'm assuming time management is probably not the key issue?

Here are some tips from NM Nelson Lopez
Hmm, I just checked and the videos seems to be talking about lichess 1600/1600-1800, which is significantly weaker than chess.com 1600-1800 imo. Like I wouldn't be surprised if OP is about 1800 strength on lichess right now. That said, maybe the tips will still be helpful? (I haven't watched the video after seeing it was lichess rating)

I'm a nobody on here ; but I have come to the conclusion that elo is a fruitless pursuit of a temporary or imaginary object. It's like a fist full air. In real life or in the every day world in my home area. I can beat or compete with anyone I play. I have been as high as 1500 on this site a long while back. Now days I do good to stay above 1000 Mostly because really good players are constantly popping in with a 900 rating and just running through you until you lose interest. You probably won't want to play me but I'm figuring I could give ya a good game ; even with my low rating. And that's what I mean. And that's why the system won't put against someone 500 points above you. Although I wish it would. I wouldn't mind being beat by someone really good near as bad as a 900 playing like stockfish. But if you get like I was and stop playing every time you lose a game just to save losing points. Well you might get to 1700 ; but if those points can be taken from you in just a handful of games ; then what have you really accomplished?
Imagine all the people on chess.com that would be so demotivated and upset if they heard that. Their chess career would be ruined.
