If I want to reach the newest episode I'd have to watch three hours a day (no exceptions, not even for Christmas or birthday) for 5 (FIVE) months straight. If I was twelve I might try that, but as an adult I don't want to commit myself to so much time.

One Pace has almost all the arcs edited down to remove filler and keep the pacing consistent with the manga. It's about 45% faster than watching the original anime.

Oh great, so like only 2 1/2 months of what the person before you just said? Thats... doable?

It's still a marathon, but a significantly less annoying one that doesn't have large sticky mud sections randomly throughout (the metaphor breaks down a bit here...)

I used One Pace to catch up recently and it's very good - downside is a lot of the earlier arcs aren't complete yet, but the OG anime isn't quite as bad with those so it's typically ok to just watch the real one for those arcs.

It's worth it though. I've been watching for about a year and just hit 600. The show's writing alone is worth watching for, it's some of the best that anime has to offer. There's also not a lot of filler, roughly 10% of the show is filler and it's not all in a row; it's also stuff you can easily skip since most of the streaming apps organize the show by arc anyway.

As someone who used to talk shit about this show for over ten years, it's 100% worth watching.

Why do you want to be caught up as quick as possible?
