"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

As others have pointed out, there are really no shortcuts, you need to put in the work.
One of the easiest things that few players still do: play longer time controls that allow you to think longer a few times in a game, then analyze the game and try to go back to these moments. Try to replay the lines you were calculating, see how they actually look on the board, what the computer says about them. This gives you important feedback.
Computer analysis is a good tool, but it's very different from human chess, so many tactics bluntly pointed out by the computer are even missed by 2000-level players, so the relavance of computer lines isn't always that big, but still something to learn from.
Wrong goal. Focus on playing and getting better, not the ELO number. The rating will follow.

Cheat.
Seeing as you are too lazy to actually apply good study habits and would not be asking that question if you were serious, just cheat.
Nobody cares, least of all LiChess. Certainly the group you want to brag to won't care, either.
