As you have indicated yourself: be consistent.

That means consentration and not to be tired = do not play too many games in a row. If +1400 is the only goal this should be suficient, provided you do not play too highly rated players.

If becoming a better chessplayer is the goal, forget about the rating. Analyse your game directly after you have played it (That is: do not play on and on without knowing anything about what you should or should not have done = not learning anything except probably bad habits.), and use the Tactics Trainer and other training and teaching stuff (read: Heisman, Silman and other advice here on Chess.com.)

Good luck!

I agree with Sadler.

Also, identify your weaknesses, and work to improve on them. Kindof a token answer, but if you can figure out what you're bad at, you'll improve very fast.

That's why many give the advice "do tactics tactics and more tactics," because most amateurs are quite bad at tactics. I know I am anyway : )
