I Have A Pressing And Urgent Question

I play chess everyday. I play all the variants. I own a 50 volume chess book library, and a 10 gig database. I have all the chess engines. I must do a 100 puzzles a day, and tactics. I play people of all levels, and I sleep with a chess set by my bed and make moves all during the night. I am a member of a dozen online chess communities and play in all the tournaments, and seek out warm hearted chess friends to study with. I analyze every game I play using multiple chess engines. I only associate with people who play chess. Chess is my whole world, my life. So, my question is: how can I improve my chess?

Don’t make chess your life. You’ll be less disappointed if the market crashes. You’ll be more refreshed to think about positions. You’ll have burnout and lose interest if you make chess your life
