I'd just sit there, do nothing and expect results.
Train tactics and endgames. Play games with a little longer times 15 or 30 minutes, try to do your best. Analyse the game afterwards yourself, not using any software. After that run the game through a software to see any tactics you missed. Try to learn from every game. Do not sit for hours trying to remember everything in the openings. You have to be good at other things before opening theory in meaningful. Middle game theory is also later than tactics and endgame. Videos can also be good to get new ideas.
Analyze every game immediately after playing to find better lines and missed moves
videos can be fun and entertaining, but passively watching them won't do anything. If while watching you made notes and used some learning techniques like active recall and spaced repetition it would be of some benefit.
me? i'm not interested in studying chess. I like studying, I like learning, but I do that enough in my job and other hobbies. I like playing chess for fun. I'm ok with my poor rating.
If you want to get better I would spend some time learning how to learn as well as learning chess. there's a course of coursera called "learning how to learn" it used to be free to take but I don't know if it still is. I really enjoyed doing it.

i am not the best of all, i am about 2000 here but i think i can give *some* advice
watching videos helps if you are paying attention and learning
playing a lot also helps if you are paying attention and learning
dont worry too much, just train and play and study and you'll get there

Short Answer: Work hard and have fun.
Long Answer:
1. No blitz, no bullet. Standard Rapid and classical help with deeper calcuation and evaluation skills, while you are likely to make mistakes in time pressure.
2. No puzzle storm or racer. This is the puzzle equivalent of blitz or bullet- it may be fun, but against the clock you are compromising on your calculation. Intuition needs to be developed with time and patience. Slow and steady wins the race. Do 5-10 puzzles every day as a warm up before playing.
3. Pick a beginner-friendly opening and stick to it. I may or may not be considered a beginner (Top Rapid rating on old account- 1730) but I still just respond to e4 with e5, d4 with d5 as Black and I play e4 as White. Don't learn too much theory, and focus on the main opening principles (controlling the center, developing minor pieces, castling the king)
4. In the middlegame, watch out for simple blunders (hanging pieces, missing easy checkmates.) Eliminating frequent tactical blunders can get you to about 1500 on this site. Before every move, check for Checks, Captures, and Threats for both sides (CCT.)
5. Learn basic checkmating sequences and practice so you can apply it in real games. Advantages mean nothing unless you can be resourceful and use it to win the game. When you get a little better, study basic endgame motifs, so you know what to do in certain types of positions.
6. After every game you play, analyze the game to look for your strengths and weaknesses. Annotate for both sides using the Study feature and figure out what went wrong and how it could be improved. Check your analysis with Stockfish afterwards, and finally take it to a player stronger than yourself. Contrast their thinking and your thinking to learn how to process positions.
7. Watch chess videos on YouTube or Twitch to assist you with the above. Make sure the channel or stream you watch is instructive, giving informative commentary and not just playing casual ultrabullet to entertain fans. Take notes to help you process the information. Examples of helpful channels include Hagning Pawns, ChessCoachAndras, St Louis Chess Club, GothamChess, and ChessTalk (YouTube) and many different Twitch streamers that I don't know much about, but I'm sure there are many more. Pick one and stick to it.
8. Connect with other chess players via Teams, social media, or in person, who aim to improve. When you feel like you aren't alone in your desire to improve, it will motivate you to practice seriously. You may also find training partners or coaches in clubs, as well as competitive opportunities for tournaments.
9. Don't EVER give up. Don't worry about your ratings, social standings, and don't get distracted. If you have other priorities, then focus on that, but make time for chess practice. Even when you feel like you will get nothing out of it, don't relent until you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Think Slytherin House in the Harry Potter series- ambition and determination are vital to success in any field.
10. Have fun! This is the most important rule. Chess should be enjoyable above all else, otherwise there is no point. Best wishes :)
