Learning from master games

How watching and analyzing master games helped your play? Do you have any tips how to utilize the knowledge you obtained from master games into your own games? When I watch the master games I feel like I have learnt so much and I want to use new ideas in my own games as well. But then I play a game and all the old bad habits just overtake my brain. It is so hard to change the way one was used to think for many years.

It looks like you mainly play bullet and blitz.  It is hard to apply such things you may have learned when you have little thinking time.

Thanks, are there some other hacks how to implement newly learnt concepts into one own´s game or it all just comes down to play slow games so I have enough time to think over everything?
