Is there anything I can do as a passenger to shorten the time between when the check-in counter opens and my flight lands at its destination?

This is a bit of a broad question but I'll have a go.
Actions that may shorten check-in to arrival:
- Check-in online
- Print or collect boarding pass on mobile
- Carry hand luggage only - This and above will help ensure you do not need to visit a check-in or bag-drop desk or wait for luggage on arrival
- Qualify for fast track security - This requires becoming a high status frequent flyer or paying for business class or above. Alternatively, register for trusted traveller programmes such as Nexus, pre-check, Global Entry
- Choose seating near to most likely exit door
- Travel business class or first class - Sometimes other passengers are held back in order to allow premium class travellers to deboard earlier
- Investigate departing airport and terminal - In some cases you may enter at faster checkpoints or alternate terminals leading to the same airside lounge area
- Investigate arrival airport and terminal - There may be automated passport kiosks accessible to a subset of passengers. You may need to register to use these.
- Investigate premium arrival services - Some airports allow you to pay to be met at the aircraft and escorted through arrival procedures
- Achieve ultra-high frequent flyer status on operating airline - in some cases special service staff will pick you up or deliver you to the aircraft by car
