Congratulations on 1900+ chess.com rapid milestone; personally, I don't share the feeling that 1900 is "not enough", but of course I'm still working on my chess and 2000+ would be cool happy.png

I've not yet reached 2000+ rapid on chess.com, but I have at least reached 2000 before on some inflated site we shall leave un-named grin.png

I feel confident with what I'm doing and the progress I've been making. Since I'm fairly busy (I prefer to think of it as "productive") in real life (college/university student, hobbies, chess writing etc.), I haven't been playing games on chess.com as often as I used to do even a year ago. I still try to work on things like the chess.com Daily Puzzle or routine tactics training/puzzles, but I believe it is the chess study "on the side" which is most time-consuming, but yielding results. 

I'm currently reading Reassess Your Chess 4th Edition by IM Jeremy Silman, but just a month or so ago I finished Pawn Power In Chess by IM Hans Kmoch and the book before that was My 60 Memorable Games by GM Bobby Fischer. If anything, I feel like I read chess books LESS than some other studious players, but I comment these because books are so time consuming that it feels worth noting when I finish one xD

One huge "chess training" goal I reached recently was reaching 50+ Puzzle Rush Survival score. That goal took me about exactly one full year of dedicated work. Perhaps some have completed that in less time (congratulations to them; 50+ is no small feat! happy.png ), but in this blog article I wrote, I also describe some of the reasoning it took as long as it did to complete.
