I found my Thermostat was stuck open. It would take my car 7-10 miles to get warmed up. After I swapped the it I was warm in about 1/2 the time.

I also try to minimize heat usage. If I need to defrost or blow cold air on the windshield with the AC on breifly. It takes the moisture out of the air very quickly.
