>get started and keep going. My personal opinion is that this is the most important. There's so many things you can focus on, sometimes we forget that we need to just spend more time actively focusing on chess to get better. I think actively focusing makes a huge difference. Playing a 2+1 while watching netflix is completely different than 5+3, fully committing. Lastly, I think if you find the part of chess you like most then lean into that! I love endgames, so I spend 75% of my time studying those. I might not be the best off for it (~1675 Lichess), but I like it, so there :) My workplace has a chess league which is really cool and useful to keep wanting to practice.
