Rating milestones

I'm pretty excited right now because I finally got my bullet rating into the 1700s, which is a fairly huge transformation for me because I used to struggle in the 1300s and 1400s. What goals and what rating milestones do you guys strive for? What ought I aim for next?
I'm trying to get to a consistent 1600 in blitz and classical.... whenever I get above 1600 I crash and have to start again.
My goal is to achieve 1500+ and I always go above but I crash and have to start again(same with the guy above me) so I started to do tactics training(one set of motif) and it's doing wonders to my tactical sense. I just reached 1550+ yesterday but I crashed and I'm now in 1528. I crashed because I got annoyed after the first loss which happened because I did a move too quickly without thinking so now I know that I should really put the effort to not click so quickly. :D

It's less than a month since I started the training. Tactics training with little play and I achieved 1550+. My time is limited with school and work so this is the only thing I can do for now.

Goodluck!
Another one here who crashes after achieving the milestone (1500+). Guess it is normal because i play with random opponent and machine selects a similar level player. Whenever i go up in rating, i start facing tougher opponents who beat me. At least i seem to be improving over the months (three since i joined).
Don´t misunderstand me, i do not miss those easy matches where opponents blunder before move 20. Keep fighting!
Next goal is to achieve 1600 and maintain it.
My peak rating in three-check is 1849. Id like to get back up there and stay there, at the least. I'd really like to be in the +3 top 100.
I won't stop until all of my ratings are above 2k. My classical is close-ish, my crazyhouse WAS close.

I'm a long way off in faster time controls, though.
I want to get to a consistent 1800 in classical by April. I started playing chess roughly a year ago and a consistent 1800 here by then would feel good.

Would like to crack 95th percentile on classical lichess someday.
Aim for at least 2000 guys! Not everybody can become a master but everybody can get 2000 especially online. Gotta put in the effort to study though, not just play.
