Follow Your Forcing Moves

"Forcing moves" are moves that best allow you to predict the future course of the game: chess, captures, and major threats. In this example from a game I played against Hugh Ditmas (FIDE: 2018) at the 2016 London Chess Classic FIDE Open, failing to take my forcing moves to their natural conclusion prevented me from finding a game-deciding tactic.
