Why people keep bouncing back and fourth from ELO

One thing that bugs a lot of chess players is that we keep bouncing back winning then losing. Here are some reasons why:

1. you are afraid you'll lose

2. you play late at night, or you are tired when you play

3. you are about to get to a certain ELO, and you keep playing, then you start losing, but keep playing and losing

To STOP this here are some things to do 

1. play i the middle of the day, or at a time besides morning, or night

2. make a schedule of when you will play, and how much you will play

3. learning openings, and practicing middle games (a lot of people play well openings, and endgames, but to win, you need to be good at middle game strategy)

When you win your rating goes up. You find stronger players and lose until your rating drops low enough you find weak players.

Rinse and repeat.

I don't really care about winning or losing anymore. I play because I enjoy my wins and don't mind my losses.
