This is why...... I can cook twice as fast as my wife.
I start with the things that need to go on first and do most of the preparation while the early things are cooking. You can chop the peppers for the stir-fry while the onion is cooking, then start on the mushrooms etc.

I had a flatmate who would cook like that. He would spend 15 minutes chopping vegetables into tiny identical shards and putting them in bowls before cooking could commence. Apparently it's called mise en place.
