Get Silman endgame manual, clear all chapters until 1800 rated section and yer endgames will rule !! I have that book, I am to lazy and don't have time and nerves for endgames now put that book is fun to read, and good to learn pretty quick !
I read what the endgame book has to say about an example position (I have several), set up the position on Fritz and see if I can win or draw against Fritz. I started doing this when I realized I didn't always know how to win is someone played lines that weren't in the book.
I'm starting to use tablebases more and more this same way (mostly for R+P endings). They have all the alternatives, so its easy to see what to do even if you don't follow the book. Of course, they are limited to 6 pieces or less.
Here's an endgame I just played which was careless on my part and instructive on my opponents part. Game 5521615 Perhaps you can learn something from it.

I'm planning to stall time when I'm playing against you. say I only last 30 moves, then I'd move once per 3 days, then the game would last 90 days, that's 3 month of time for me to improve!
