Blitz tips for knowing when to stop thinking and just play?

I'm an 1800 FIDE classical player and I was hoping for some tips regarding blitz. I am a really slow player and I believe my strength lies in calculation. I was hoping someone could give me advice on how to train the ability to play faster and how you decide when a move is "good enough" to play so as to not waste time. Also, how do you mentally deal with the idea that rating is so much less clear in blitz. I feel it's so much more likely for one to beat a much higher rated opponent or have a much lower rated opponent beat them in blitz than in classical; this concept often messes with my mental as it seems that rating is not as meaningful as in classical where one, for the most part, beats or plays really close games with those below their rating (given they've played some minimum number of games to be rated somewhat accurately.)
