Once you reach 2000, you can rarely expect to go even 100 points a year. Unless you get a really good coach, you won't really do so. Even with a coach, expect and hope for only 100 points a year.
It may look "easy" but once you reach 2000, there are barely any resources available to help you. The 2000 rated future GMs had help from their coaches.
Thank you for your reply but are you sure chess books won't do the job? I'm assuming I will hit 2000 at the age of 18 (in 5 months), so I will probably hit 1800 before my birthday. I was 1600 for 3 weeks before I first hit 1700, thus I thought 1900 or even 2000 might be realistic if I study everyday like I stated in my post.

My theory is that it's not impossible to become a grandmaster when you're an adult, or in my case almost an adult. I just think that people who are adults are not able to dedicate as much time to chess as a child. That's why I try to practice and train 6 hours a day to see if my theory is correct. I dare to doubt that children are fundamentally more capable of learning. I just think they get excited more easily and devote more time to an activity because they don't have a valid sense of time.
If I'm not a grandmaster in 7 years, we'll see if that's true or not.

Update: I'll be 18 in a few months and my rating is basically almost 1800, so I'm currently following my schedule.

Update:
I have created a tournament plan and will participate in over 7 tournaments this year; more to follow next year and I hope to reach a rating (FIDE) of 2000 next summer. I study 4 hours a day with one master game and two visualization games (i.e. blindfolded) a day. So here are my new goals:
3. Checkpoint: 2000 at age 19 (FIDE-Rating)
4. Checkpoint: 2200 at age 20 (FIDE-Rating)
5. Checkpoint: 2300 at age 21 (FIDE-Rating)
6. Checkpoint: 2500 at age 22 (FIDE-Rating)
This is an experiment to see how much I can improve as quickly as possible. For this experiment, I set myself milestones based on the rating development of various grandmasters and strong chess players such as Magnus Carlsen and Peter Svidler. I will train for 6 hours every day for this experiment for the next few years – and I know the milestones don't sound realistic, but I'll try my best anyway; I will of course update the results over time.
So here are the checkpoints:
1. Checkpoint: 1000 at age 17 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating): achieved
2. Checkpoint: 1800 at age 18 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating): achieved
3. Checkpoint: 2150 at age 19 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating)
4. Checkpoint: 2300 at age 20 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating)
5. Checkpoint: 2400 at age 21 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating)
6. Checkpoint: 2500 at age 22 (chess.com rapid + blitz rating)
My birthday is in August and I'm aiming for 1800 this August (as you might see above), wish me luck. I didn't really do much last year, but I'm currently starting to train, so feel free to follow along. For the plan I mainly follow tips from grandmasters and emulate the learning process as described by these exact grandmasters (e.g. read the same books etc.).
Feel free to add suggestions!
