What should a 1000 rated try to practice/learn next?

So I recently reached 1000 elo and I noticed that most of my opponents have been making far less blunders and I'm always the one who ends up losing because I sometimes don't notice the small mistakes I made, and now I'm stuck at 1050 for a little while now.

Yeah I am trying to learn a bit of endgames/openings and stuffs like analyzing my games and practicing like 30 minutes or lower often every week but sometimes don't practice at all. Is it time I start giving more time learning/practicing? What should my new practice routine be?

It is same routine try and improve your knowledge and learn to improve your game. For me I reached that point then just slide back down again. I suggest keep trying to learn more like you did as a beginner. So don't do what I did and slacken off thinking you have a great game unless you like me and just see it as a bit of fun.

The moment you get to 1050 you are a beginner. There are less players at that level, they be much more advanced and they will analyse your game. The only way to combat that is learn that higher level or just sit back and enjoy playing the game.

Do you practice tactics ? Most 1000-ish players still miss most tactics. Also, make sure you don't make random pawn moves, like exchanging pawns for no reason, or pushing pawns to lock the position and getting a cramped position that favors your opponent.

yes its like half of my entire practice session lol

This was your last game. In the end, you resigned in a completely drawn position. Why would you do that?

Doing anything without thinking is very bad at chess, and resigning without thinking is the worst.

Other than that, resigning because you think you are gonna get checkmated is insane. Why would you do that? If you get checkmated, you get checkmated. But maybe your opponent screws up, and you don't get checkmated. Maybe your opponent screws up really bad, and you win.

Never resign.

There is no magic formula. What you need may differ from what other 1000s need. I did notice looking at your games that you miss simple tactics frequently. I also saw this:

 

That’s a good modest number of games. I noticed that you are playing a slow time control. I also noticed that you are blitzing out your moves and still have plenty of time when your game ends. Slow down. See more. Do more tactics than games. With 46 games in the past 90 days, you should have done at least 100 puzzles.

Maybe not this extreme, but you get the idea.
