Welcome to the site!

Instrumentation is always a great place to start. You don't know if you're doing better or worse unless you can measure it.

Next, I'd recommend blocking up your grill for sure. In winter, you can probably block most of it off without any issue. This'll help your engine and transmission warm up faster.

After that, I'd look into getting a block heater. That gets you warm even faster.
