We can never really avoid the little deaths call blundering!
With chess, the aroma of my 1 second blunder often clings to me for the whole game like eye-watering skunk spray.
We can however reduce blundering.
Psychological / emotional factors play a big role in blundering!
Blunders could arise from:
a. Your move generation
b. Loss of objectivity often due to emotions
c. Automatic Move Blindness
d. From impatience or poor emotional response to a surprise (good or bad for you). (Multiple changes in the evaluation / flow of the position may produce upsetting psychological effects that result in blunders. Strangely if you or your opponent blunders, the following response is often a blunder also.
e. Over-confidence or under-confidence

Patient behaviour as opposed to rash behaviour
Consistent good concentration
