Playing long time controls (15|10 or even better classical times like 30|0 or 45|45) is important for really developing your process of choosing moves, blunder checking, and positional understanding. Including some puzzles or other tactics training wouldn't hurt. Past 1000 is a good time to start studying end games and openings.
Should I study more or play more at 1000 elo

I recommend you do both, but you don't have to study chess you mostly try learning skills and apply them to games you play, so you know what to do. If you want to learn new chess skills, go to ChessMood, they have all the video resources of strategies you'll need. They can also review your games and recommend what you need to improve.

Good Luck!
I like this easy to learn! Thanks bro
Most of your chess time should be dedicated to playing games and analyzing games. imo that's the best way to improve. Yes you should also spend time on tactics, endgames, strategy, openings. But that should be secondary to playing games.
At this level, gaining practical experience is crucial. Playing more games helps reinforce patterns and develop familiarity with common tactical ideas and typical positions.
Yes, all fight
Dear Chessnerd,
I am 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 general way to learn. 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. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. 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.
You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). 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 really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!
