No amount of efficiency will help in the long term because work will eventually find its way to you. You need to be efficient and competent enough to get things done, but not too efficient that bosses keep throwing work your way. Best you can do is look busy, but you'll still need to put in the face-time.

Consider joining a smaller/mid-market firm that gives you better hours. That's the most practical way to fix it. Otherwise, long hours are the rules of the game. You could also quit, but I'm assuming that's not an option you are considering.
