I take forever getting my stuff together in the morning too. Only thing I do to mitigate this loss of time is to drink my coffee while I'm packing. I have one of those 14 or 16 ounce double walled coffee mugs with a lid that keeps the contents from sloshing out. I wake up. Make my coffee. Sit in the living room for the first few sips. Then wander around lazily packing my stuff for work. Go to the closet and pick out some clothes. Take a sip. Walk downstairs and put the clothes in the bag. Take a sip. Open the pantry and think about lunch. Take a sip. Etc. I'd take just as long without having to pack because I'm going to laze around and drink coffee anyway for a half an hour.
