"... Sure, fast games are fine for practicing openings (not the most important part of the game for most players) and possibly developing decent board vision and tactical 'shots', but the kind of thinking it takes to plan, evaluate, play long endgames, and find deep combinations is just not possible in quick chess. … for serious improvement ... consistently play many slow games to practice good thinking habits. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

Analyze your own games, pay attention and do a lot of puzzles

Maybe you play too much chess and your brain wants a break. Maybe you were playing when tired. I don't take blitz too seriously because that rating can go up just as fast as it went down. Rapid is what I consider my  real chess rating. I take those games more seriously

150 points is NOTHING compared to the number of point ive lost

"I play blits ..."

Now you know why you're making dumb moves.

If you only play blitz and bullet, you shouldn't complain about the quality of your play.
