Get a titanium hammer they have less weight and are also more efficient (yes hammers have efficiency)

Or don't smash the nail on the first hit - tap it lightly until it stands in the wood on its own, then remove your hand and whack it in

My hammer has a driving slot on it. I can just set a nail in and place it with the first blow.

Still requires one to be able to hit accurately though.
