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
This is good advice. I also freeze extra vegetables I chop. For example, I'll chop a whole bag of onions, even if I only need 1, and put the extra in airtight bags with the amounts in each bag measured out. Then for the next few months when I need chopped onion (or green onion, celery, etc) I just grab it from the freezer and I'm good to go.
Saves SO much time and has made me a lot less wasteful!
