At your current rating you just need to play when you are feeling good and make sure you review all your games.
Carefully study your lost games.
Play in LIEchess. Easy to get 2000 Rapid.
Board vision,positional understanding (learn how to convert), and tactics
And study your strengths and weaknesses (wins +losses) you need to improve on what your good at+what your bad at so anyze everything lol unless it's like you just played well your opponent blundered
I would actually recommend working on positional play and endgame conversion spacificaly in my experience about 80% of 1800s are either dead lost of blunder by move 8 against me

What do you think about post #3? I'm a bad example as my brain is old.
I don't think it's bad but I wouldn't say only"study" openings cause that is what all the 2000s that are stuck for ten+ years say I think studying positional play is important but actualy understanding it is even more important
Endgames can be studied too.

Endgames 100% study
more important than opening I think people put too much empethis on studying openings
Because Masters emphasize openings. Majority of books are about openings. Easiest to sell and opening innovation are evolving. There's not much innovation on middle game and endgame.
Exactly you can be creative in the opening so it is emphasized you can't really in the endgame so study the endgame since it is already solved have fun with the opening and try to be creative
