Studying the opening helps a lot with direction of play, where/when to invade, when and how to extend, what you should value, etc.

EDIT: Also, when you hit ~5k, you should start to learn how to count. That will twll you how you should play.

This is one the most important questions in Go, but compared to training reading with tsumego, there are very little resources available. You could try working through these:

I recently got help with a positional judgement issue where I was thinking too territorially, which is at https://senseis.xmp.net/?topic=9485

There seem to be no positional judgement problems in the OGS puzzle collection, there’s a chance for someone there.
