Thanks to a reader question, I've written a couple of posts about improving from 1900 to 2000 FIDE strength.

That is an interesting blog.

I've also come across another similar blog on reaching 200: http://www.londonchessplayer.com/

It's quite simple really:
Play lots of chess
Read lots of chess books on all aspects of play

Other things:
If you know someone is pretty good at a particular opening or style: avoid it.
Draw losing games and lose few against players graded lower.
Avoid players who are on form if possible and you know you may struggle against.
