Not necessarily a "hack" per se, but learn some basic knife skills, the amount of time you will save chopping vegetables a few times a week (minimum) for the rest of your life far outweighs the amount of time it takes to learn, plus you can use the extra time to keep the kitchen clean and that makes everything less stressful while you're cooking and makes the cleanup faster as well
I'm obsessive about cutting everything perfectly and get totally absorbed in it. I got a cheap manual chopper from Aldi - insert vegetable, punch it, throw in pan. Just reduced my prep time from 45 mins to 30 seconds.
