Stop playing blitz. 3 min blitz is very fast and hard to play well without blundering a lot. You basically get 1-2 moves that you can think about and everything else is bullet speeds. Playing 3+2, 5+0 or 5+3 blitz will greatly reduce your blunder rate while still keeping a decent rate of play.

IMO, the best way to improve at blitz in a hurry is to play the same junk openings, over and over, and over the course of several weeks, REALLY begin to internalize the recurring tactics. Play something like a BDG heavy repertoire as white… maybe a BDG/Tromp combo, which should cover 90% of games you start as white.
