This may sound like a silly answer, but it actually isn't: just do it faster. I've worked in professional kitchens, a lot of the time on prep shifts, and although there are lots of great tricks for prepping vegetables, the single thing that helps the most is to simply concentrate and move your hands faster. Build up your speed slowly so you don't cut yourself. And of course be sure you have a very sharp peeler. But mainly, work on slowly increasing your tempo until your hands are a veritable blur, and it won't seem like such a chore anymore.
