1) Bankroll management (obvoiusly, it's just knowing one number, but it's still very very important)

2) Preflop ranges (you can't play postflop well without having good grasp on what you do preflop):
* RFI ranges, never limp (not really, but while you are a beginner just don't)
* 3betting ranges AND correct 3bet sizings (especially for the SB and ESPECIALLY if you are playing cash games)
* Big blind defense ranges, as BB defends quite wide compared to the rest of the positions

3) Basic poker math like pot odds, MDF, implied odds and the 2/4 rule (the chances of flopping stuff will also help for general understanding)

4) Learn to think in ranges

GTO-wise:
5) Cbetting. Cbetting is king and the basis for the most of postflop action.
6) Study the differences in playing against an IP cold-caller and a BB defender.
7) It's a very wide topic, but you have to learn how to bluff and when to bluff. You don't want to be overbluffing or underbluffing as your baseline strategy.

Non-GTO:
Obviously if you are playing micros, nobody will play GTO there, you will have all sorts of limpers, nits and maniacs. Learn the basic adjustments against all sorts of unbalanced players, and also look for material to help you understand weak postflop multiway spots and how to adjust to weak tables preflop (when to limp, how your preflop ranges change against limpers)

Also there is a whole bunch of other topics to learn if you are an MTT player, but here I just put the general ones to get started.
