When I was last working in a startup and time was limited I used to just make an epic pot of chili/curry/etc on a Sunday night and eat that every day during the week. It doesn't take much more effort to make enough food for 5 or 6 days as it does for just one meal - you're just chopping and cooking more stuff really. The economy of scale I'd get would save me at least 1/2 the time I'd have spent making individual meals. It did get quite dull though. There's a whole community of people who do it on Reddit at r/mealprep. The startup failed but one good thing that came out of it was that I realized that I actually enjoy the process of cooking. It's like science, but with a tasty (sometimes) meal at the end. I cook much more now. It's also worth realizing that there are some things that you just have to do. Eating, washing, etc are basic minimums of being an adult. You can't reduce your life to only doing the fun parts; it's important to accept that some of your time will always be spent on boring, inefficient stuff.
