Is Pre Cutting Vegetables Worth the Time for Meal Prep

I see people on YouTube spending an hour just chopping vegetables for the week. I am wondering if pre cutting actually saves time or if the vegetables just lose their nutrients and go bad faster. I am a bit lazy when it comes to prep work.

Does anyone here find that pre cutting makes them more likely to eat their veggies during the week? I am thinking about buying a food processor to speed up the process. I am in Canada and I find that I often buy fresh produce and then it just sits in the crisper drawer until I throw it away.

Is there a trick to keeping pre cut vegetables fresh? I have heard that storing carrots and celery in water helps. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether the extra effort on Sunday is worth it for a busy week ahead!
