How can I actually improve at PVP?

Hello friends! So, here's the thing: I'm 37, with a kid (baby daughter who is my whole world). I don't really have the time to sit down all day and just straight-up [i]play[/i] for long sessions anymore. A few hours in the evenings is all I really get, but that's just the reality of getting older (it'll come for you, too, kids!) Check out my crucible.report and you'll see my stats. I'm not the worst player ever, but I'm painfully average. I have my moments where I can clutch that 1v3, but it's inconsistant as hell. I'm basically looking for a very streamlined approach to improvement, if you legends could help. As an example, one thing I recently noticed upon reviewing some gameplay is that my peek-shooting from cover was a bit rough, so I went into a patrol and practiced, then after an hour or two of humping cover to get the candence right, I was able to head into some PvP and practice it against actual human players (still a ways to go, but progress. Yay!) Are there any 'movements' or 'actions' I could practice to be a more valuable teammate? Rumble used to be my go-to for practicing my 1's, but the playlist is all but dead. Ideally, I'd like to hear from those players with 1.5/1.6+ KD's, but at this point I'll take anything lol. Thnaks lots, people! Have a great day :) EDIT: Some fantastic replies so far. Thanks to all who have commented! Keep 'em coming!

    Best tip I can give anyone: watch your games after you play. If you do well, look around and take stock of what’s going on. If you’re getting hammered, see what’s up. Really examine your deaths, and always approach it from the aspect that what killed you was always at least half your fault. Try to examine the situation, see what you did right, and what you did that contributed to your death. Looking at your play, being honest that you contribute to your deaths, and identifying bad habits and working to eliminate them is a huge step forward. Everyone gripes about how other people killed them, only good players gripe about how they got themselves killed. Additionally, working on snap aiming, target swapping, and peek shooting help a lot. And learning the meta so you can either incorporate it or counter it is super helpful as well. Edit to add: 44 year old father of 2, finding time is hard. But it’s possible.
