I would just say, do a little bit of everything, for instance* do 15 minutes of ez puzzles (1000-1800) and then do15 minutes of your hard core calculation puzzles (either from a book or other) you can also throw in daily fun puzzles like puzzle rush and stuff for quick pattern recognition. I wouldn't recommend doing more then like an hour and a half of puzzles at a max per day, too many puzzles without games and analysis isn't good. I hope this helps!

Thanks man 
I like the idea if solving easy puzzles 1st as a warm up, then solving the harder ones next! I also don’t think solving puzzles for more than and hour an a half is good like you said. Once again thanks fir the advice

Of course! It's all about the balance of your training and what you need to work on to improve! Don't know if you have a coach or not, but a coach can point someone in the right direction on what to work, on how much to work on, and the best way to go about it. It was great talking with you again as always!

Very true, there’s much more to chess than just tactics! Also I don’t have a coach at the moment, as I don’t have the money to afford one. Maybe one day though
The best way to solve them. Do not too long. Juat as long as you have fun. Maybe 10 or 20 minutes. Do them every day and if you can always at the same time of the day.

Yeah that’s a good idea!
At least once a day.
Look for material advantage (winning an extra piece) or positional advantage (sacrifice a piece for checkmate).

once you sort of recognize what the puzzle's goal is, pick a few moves that look good and calculate them to see if they solve the puzzle

Hey y’all I was wondering what is the best way to solve puzzles? For instance, how many should I solve at a time, how long should I take on each one, what things should I be looking for, and pretty much what should I be doing to maximize my improvement when solving them. Thank you all in advance for the advice
