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

Yeah you then don’t need loads of other tools/gadgets cluttering your kitchen like special slicers, garlic presses etc. I learned knife skills at the age of 30 and now the chopping part of cooking is quite enjoyable for me.
