It doesn't take long at all... The biggest set up to a 2-3 day trip is coordinating it with a teammate or two, which doesn't take more than a couple texts and/or a couple minute phone call or two. After that I have a "go bag" with extra clothes, gambling books (Nersesian+ Thorp), some W2's and old plane tickets showing I gamble frequently, and all of the things one could need on a trip (asprin, tooth paste/brush, deoderant, watch, phone charger, charging BLOCKS, etc). With this bag I should be able to pick it up, grab my money, and leave. Charging blocks are a wonder to keeping your phone from ever running out of battery and needing to pre-charge...
I'd say, to put a number on it, if I had a trip coming up this weekend, it would take me 10-15 minutes to get my butt out of bed and in to the car ready to roll.
Don't think you have a winning game; know you have a winning game.
1. Have a car charger and extra phone charger in car.
2. Just leave a set of clothes in the car all the time (along with tooth brush / etc.).
3. I just stop at gas station, fill up, and get food there.

most of this stuff it seems like you can either leave in your car all the time and/or have a pre-packed bag at the ready.
something that likely would help with time for this is to have a check list. this way you don't have to go by memory on what to pack, bring, do, etc. going by memory slows you down because you gotta do this, then that, then you forget what you were going to do, etc... also going by memory is fallible and you may forget something.
