besides playing in a longer time control, you could also play fast.
stupid answer but idk how to give tips on this

Try to don't have much less time than the opponent (for example in a 15+0 game max a 2 min). When you are deciding what to move name some candidate moves and calculate them in a sympathetic order. The most important is to not jump from each variation to the other and then back, try to calculate the variation till the end, and then go to the next candidate move, when you have finished all of them decide which move was the best. I hope this will help :)
Always play the same time control, so you get a feeling for the time without looking at the clock.
When you play too slowly, you may lose on time.
When you play too fast, you may blunder and lose.
Best is to play with increment e.g. 15|10.
Then you always have time to win a won position or draw a drawn position.
I think something important is to identify the critical moments (when the pawn structure changes, or the balance of the minor pieces, or the opening- middle game- endgame transitions, to name a few), those are the moments where it is worth investing time.

At your level in my opinion I would focus on making moves that have a purpose. Such as, developing your pieces and controlling the center of the board, castling quickly and learning the middle game for the openings you play. If you don't have a lot of experience playing chess it will take time to use the principles you know and help you move quicker.
stupid question but i play way to slow..
