I play 30 minutes games and still don't have enough time to think my moves though. It's amazing for me how people can play blitz or bullet games

Blitz is frowned upon at the upper levels by a lot of players for that reason. However, some such as #1 rated of all time "Magnus Carlsen", play a bit of blitz on the side.
