There's a startlingly large quantity of meals that start with olive oil and seasoned meat in a pot and end in being served over a carb that you can make ten pounds of in less than an hour. I keep dried onion flakes and a jar of minced garlic on hand for when (buying and) cutting fresh aromatics is too many steps. But really, skipping enough "you should do this it makes the dish better" steps can turn everything from beef stroganoff to japanese-style curry to cottage pie into one-pot meals that provide "leftovers" for a week or more. If you crave variety, you can compress the effort and do the same amount of work "per week" but commit more time to one day: this lets you make three or four ten pound Meals that are then divided into freezer-safe portions that can be defrosted or reheated as desired. So instead of "red sauce pasta week, teriyaki chicken week, bacon and egg and hashbrown bowl week, etc" you spend a day per month prepping 3-5 meals and then just microwave those meals for the next month. This strategy basically requires a chest freezer though. Pairs well with compressing your month of grocery shopping task into one big trip to Costco where you can buy 40lb of raw meat to prep into meals.

Take shortcuts, be lazy, compress all the effort into one "task" ("meal prep for 2h a week" or "meal prep for 6 hours once a month" instead of "make 3 quick meals every day"). Basically ask yourself "what is actually wrong with eating hot pockets for three meals a day" (expensive, not actually that good tasting, lacks a lot of important nutrients) and fix that problem by making something better that takes just as little effort as a hot pocket does when you're actually hungry.
