Sharing Tips on How to Improve (General)

I just wanted to start a thread to exchange tips on methods or ideas that people have found useful to improve.

I find it helpful to talk with other players about what they are thinking in certain positions. Last year, our chess club arranged a correspondance consultation game against a strong player elsewhere in the country. We discussed the position on club night and made a move each week with the reply coming prior to the following club night. The experience of talking about a position with others was very educational (especially when the stronger players contributed as you could get some insight of their thought processes).

Working through a HGIYC article in a group seems to work well. It is a good experience to hear other people's thoughts and ideas.

Anybody have anything else to add?
