Having a sharp knife and preparing food in bulk for at least 3-4 meals is key to time savings. Most single men that I know like to prep food for the entire work week in advance.

If you're making a single serving (e.g. single dinner for yourself), then the overhead of cleaning dishes and pans makes it uneconomical to do so.

Also, certain things in cooking don't need supervision and you can perform other chores during that time (e.g. making beef/chicken stock in a pot, baking a roast, etc.)

Yup - when I was at my most organized I would make a normal family sized meal, eat one portion then portion up the leftovers on a plate, slip the whole thing in a bag and seal with a vacuum sealer and toss 'em in the freezer. Home made TV dinners! Now I'm spoiled with services like Blue Apron, but I still will occasionally make my favorite meals and portion them up into my own frozen dinners :)
