Scissors can get a bit tiring on flashing (Ouch). If your a lazy wimp like Swim, you could get a paper guilotine. Cut off about a foot (a bit shorter than the blade) cut strips nearly all the way through, the rotate the joined strips through 90 degrees. and cut off the squares. Swim found this about 5 times faster than scissors. The joining strips were kept aside, and fed through later in groups.
Of course if you like menial tasks

, stay with scissors.
Swim found overhead stirring was fine, but did consider making a custom guillotine that would bend each square as it was cut for easier stirring {so they look like /\ instead of --}
