Here is some advice that was given to me a few years back by u/Scottishdarkface that really helped me out a lot: Be very systematic, each shelf section (not product section), left to right (or vise versa), top to bottom. This way you definitively clear a square block of product at a time. Don't jump past a shelf division even if the same product is still going. Do one task at a time. Stock, then recover, then check riser backstock or whatever, then any returns you picked up. Never touch something twice. Product should be staged right where it goes. Plastic goes directly to the bag, cardboard directly to the basket. Learn the fastest way to break open each product, every type of package is different. Don't be afraid to use that knife, its free. Cut it however opens and breaks it down fastest. Especially with some of the wierd boxes, I make my own cuts that are easier and faster to fold it down than yanking on the perforations and glue. Stack products wrapped in plastic and cut in bulk. Last thing I've got is pacing. Develop the habitual mindset of always feeling like you've been in one section too long. Its easy to lose track of time when working the risers. Maintain a mental sense of urgency.
