Just be yourself it's much more important for the average home cook to be safe than fast.
You might try a mandolin for slicing veggies. I use chop wizard for dicing. https://www.amazon.com/Vidalia-Chop-Wizard-67366-Large/dp/B000I6JZWA
For the OP (since I suspect you wouldn't use this, either ), I have a cut-resistant glove I use with my mandolin. It's saved my fingertips several times, and having it on helps me to be mindful of safety while using the mandolin.As far as a mandolin goes, I do have one and use it when I need precise slices, but that thing scares the crap out of me. Im careless sometimes, and my mind wanders a bit, so I have taken off the tips of my fingers a few times. I feel safer with a sharp knife than a Mandolin, although I definitely see their purpose and use from time to time. I just have to be under total concentration without disruptions. ( As a side note, I don't use the safety grip thing that spikes into the veggies as I should).

I have never cut myself on my V-Slicer cutting veggies. Just use the food holder!
You're %100 right, Im an Idiot.
Maybe Ill listen to my own ( and others) advice one day!
Larry, despite the proximity to your post, my comments were not directed to you specifically. I repeatedly see comments from many members here stating they are afraid of their mandolin/V-Slicer or that they won't use it, or bought special gloves. . . I'm sure you've seen them as well.
