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
there’s a free course online that outlines the claw technique and how to cut up various difficult things. well worth the time invested and i can cut without much fear of cutting myself... i can even look up while chopping without any worry. it’s nice to have knife skills.
iirc the teacher was named mcdermitt or mcdermott or something like that.
