Dear WhoisAlice,
My name is Gabor Balazs. I’m a Hungarian FIDE Master and a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. 
Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one given way to learn and improve.
First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main areas (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and if you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students enjoy the lessons because they cover multiple aspects of chess in an engaging and dynamic way, keeping the learning process both stimulating and efficient. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames, game analysis). There are more than 30 hours of educational videos uploaded already and I'm planning to upload at least 4 new videos per week, so you can get 4-6 hours of educational contents every month. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day which are available with a FREE subscription.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!

I got to 1000 rapid by using the resources here on chess.com, watching youtube and twitch streamers and just playing a bunch. Took me about 10 months. I am sure many were faster and some slower. I think 1000 is achievable for most people if you dedicate the time.

Study end games. Learn positional play. Watch grand master games. Don't blunder. Anyone telling to do tactics is wrong. I'm over 2000 in tactics and I'm pretty good at finding them, but I'm far away from being a rated 1000 rapid.

I think it is a bit more nuanced. Chess is a complicated game and the "best" players are very good at all the different aspects: opening theory, endgame theory, tactics, positional play, etc, etc. You have to work on all the aspects to really improve. So focusing where you are weakest makes a lot of sense. But it all about balance!
