My 1 min game complex

I can't get away from 1 min games. I think its because I've been focusing a bunch on Unorthodox Openings. Its so much fun pretending I'm Hikaru Nakamura. I'm still an amateur and don't know good time management, when I get into a long game I rush it and lose quickly. I win a bunch but its really not the type of wins I want. Dan Heisman says its better to lose a well thought out game than it is to win a rushed, sloppy game. (Not his exact words but you get the breeze.) Here is an example of a won game but in a BAD way. It was supposed to be a Larsen's Opening gambit but turned into a Bird.
