There are a number of ways to do that. 1. Raise the temperature of your water-heater. 2. Insulate your pipes. 3. Buy a bigger (or more efficient) water-heater. ?4. Live alone.?
You combine any two of those things..and you'll definitely notice a difference.
Move the water heater heater closer to the kitchen sink or you can purchase a water heater unit that you can put under the kitchen sink that will allow you to get hot water faster.
Insulate the pipes between the water heater and the faucets.

Yes, it can also cross through a two handled faucet. Both the hot and cold sides of the faucet must be on and the flow of water must be stopped or greatly reduced on the outlet side of the faucet. This can occur when a hose with a spray nozzle is attached to a laundry tub faucet with the faucet on and the spray nozzle off, or when a shower faucet is on but the shower spray head is off. When another cold water outlet in the system is turned on then the pressure on the cold side of the laundry tub or shower faucet in question could be lowered below the pressure on the hot side and hot water can flow into the cold water side. There are faucets which have integral check valves which prevent this from occurring. WWW.WOODBRIDGEPLUMBING.COM
Cold air and hot water makes water freeze faster simply because the hot water is steaming and so the result is that there is less water to freeze. hot water = steam = less water less water = faster freeze cold air = faster freeze

it only takes about 3 minutes to dissolve sugar in hot to boiling water. When it could take about a hour for cold water.
Faucet water evaporates slightly faster.
Faucet water evaporate first.
The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.
Probably because it flows through several feet of uninsulated metal pipe to get from the water heater to the faucet. After you're done using hot water and you shut the faucet, all the hot water in that pipe cools quickly, and then, next time you want some hot water, you have to wait for all of that water in the pipe to come through the faucet, before any hot water from the heater reaches you. The cure: Get some foam pipe wrap from any home-improvement store and wrap it around the hot-water pipes. Then when the pipe is full of hot water, it'll take longer for that water to cool off.
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.
Usually from a hot water tank.
Burn your tongue and throat is about the only issue. Hot faucet water is no different than cold water you heat on the stove or drink in your coffee.

Turn the water off to the faucet. Remove the handle. The top of the faucet should unscrew to get to the ball valve. Replace the valve and gaskets then reassemble the faucet.
Probably hot water.
Check the temp on your hot water heater, you can turn it up.
You go to the bathroom and run on the hot water faucet.
