You are on the right track!
Play less hands.
Virtually every top pro let alone every poker book will recommend playing fewer hands and make sure those are premium ones. There are endless discussions regarding keeping a certain VPIP rate no matter...but...being TAG player to my core, I find increasing the pots I get into by broadening my range generally a recipe for leaking chips if not a disaster.
If you take the time to study high level tourney streams, some pros are naturally inclined to enter a lot of pots but others are not. Rather than playing 20% + some pros play in the very low teens. It all depends on the cards they are being dealt - they adjust when receiving a string of mediocre hands and do not force the issue.
