Stephanie, It depends on what type of assignments you are grading. When I grade writing, I typically grade for one thing at a time. For example, I'll grade for format only or I'll grade for content only or spelling only. You may have to see the document more than once, but the grading goes more quickly. Also, any tests/quizzes you can automate through the LMS for automatic grading is a time saver. I also use peer-evaluation. The students are assigned a peer to grade their work using the rubric and then they can edit the information before they submit it to me. The result is me getting a better assignment/project which is faster to grade. Hope this is helpful.
