@MrCalderon is the one that i got the advice from.
and basically, I choose and pick great puzzles (fork, pin, sacrifice) and let's say put them with 1400-1500 level, each has their own set.
so then i can practice each one on their own.
if 1400 becomes easy I do 1500-1600.
and so on and so forth.
beginners (like me) have everything weak, so it's good to practice them on their own.
also as to why chesstempo.
well you can create custom sets. and people can rate the puzzles if they're good with the tags and if they're good puzzles. so you can create a custom set of 4-5 star puzzles of a specific level (say 1400-1500) with a specific tag (say pin).
we can now "deliberately" practice.
and as we all know. brute force just solzing puzzles are nice but can be better.
what better way to improve your training by doing puzzles by specific level and tag? gradually improve each one like it's a lift. progressive overload? if you're accustomed to lifting terms.
anyway, my main problem was i played too much blitz.
and since i stopped playing blitz and played rapid, went from 1471 to 1750.
once i plateau in rapid, i'll start classical, then reintroduce chesstempo and chessable as i make time in my schedule.
;)
the goal was 1600 in 2 months. i reached 1750 in less than a month. albeit i stopped chesstempo and chessable and played rapid. i don't see blitz the same way. i'll only play it mainly for fun and less serious about the rating on that.
i'll invest my time in rapid and classical.
