I will answer to you with the words of GM Rhode:

"Tactics are super important in general ,in fact the saying that chess is 99%
tactics really is true .
Most learning players make way too much about "this is the plan" or "i dont like
this because of doubled pawns" when they really should be thinking, " if he does
this, then what am i going to do ?
The positional themes, like "control the center", develop your pieces, don't get
a backward pawn  are easy to learn and not a problem..."
