Summary: If you only have an hour per week to work out and want to make the most of it
Avoid time consuming set ups and weight switching (e.g. opt for dumbbells and machines with weight stacks over barbells)
Train multiple groups at once with compound exercises
Train harder and go to failure more often
Actually, train even harder and get closer to or past failure with drop sets
