To get ready to go, with a trailered boat I can be on my way in 1/2 hour.
I leave stuff in dedicated bags and bins; electronics, charts, tackle, etc., and use a lawn cart to load it up in my basement and roll it out to the boat all at once.
I also use a checklist of needed items and review it for things I might have missed.
Also, over time, buy duplicates for things that you use on your boat and for other things so that you don't waste time searching. That would include things like flashlights, first aid equipment, binoculars, etc. The money spent is often well worth the time saved.
On return, think of items that really don't need to be perfectly clean after each outing. Like, is it really necessary to wash each life jacket with soap and water and rinse and dry nylon anchor rode? Don't laugh, someone very close to me used to do that.
