Some Small Tips in Rapid Chess

Beginners, I have some tips. If you are starting by playing rapid, which I strongly suggest, here are beginner tips...

1. Take your time. This is very important. You will find much better moves if you think. Calculate and assume opponent's moves to see if the move you are playing is winning.

2. Attack! If you are playing rapid, and you are not getting attacked, set up an attacking plan and put it in action! Make sure you do not hang pieces, but try to get trades off if you are up in material and if you attack, you will probably get mating opportunities. Take them when you get them!

3. Have fun! Remember, for beginners and intermediates like me, this is just a game that you play to be happy and have fun with.😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

Good advice!

Take your time sheesh

when I take my time in rapid I get into time trouble…

I am sorry for your lost but taking a time to play a game in the early stage of it has a huge benefits for improvement. This might be counter intuitive but even though you lost because of time scramble, in the future, you will easily move faster and accurately if you will repeat this process over and over again. If you are having anxiety of losing in the endgames, just watch chess lessons about it and it will minimize drastically the amount of time you had to think when the time comes.

but 

eh

it happens almost EVERY game for like 6 months

Try to solve more puzzles. The more you encounter, the better you will familiarize patterns on finding tactics.

This was very informative to read.(captioning the obvious)

The OP has a rapid rating of 760 and may do better taking, rather than giving advice I suspect

Play Longer Time Controls...
For many at the beginner-novice level, speed chess tends to be primarily an exercise in moving pieces around faster than your opponent while avoiding checkmate, in hopes that his/her clock runs out sooner than yours.  And/or hoping to notice and exploit your opponent’s blunders while hoping they don't notice yours.  The reason for this is that in speed chess there is little time to think about what you should be doing.

It makes sense that taking more time to think about what you should be doing would promote improvement in your chess skills and results.  An effective way to improve your chess is therefore to play mostly longer time controls, including "daily" chess, so you have time to think about what you should be doing.

This is not to suggest that you should necessarily play exclusively slow or daily time controls, but they should be a significant percentage of your games, at least as much, if not more so than speed games which, while they may be fun, do almost nothing to promote an understanding of how to play the game well.

Here's what IM Jeremy Silman, well-known chess book author, has to say on the topic...
