Can we talk about how long it takes to set up a game of Terraforming Mars

I got my group together last Saturday to finally play the Prelude expansion we bought three months ago. We spent 45 minutes just sorting tiles and shuffling decks before anyone even picked a corporation. I tried using a bead organizer to store the resource cubes and it cut setup time by maybe 10 minutes. Does anyone have a better system for keeping all those small components from turning into a mess?

I used to think people were overreacting about the setup time but then my group spent a solid hour last month just getting everything ready and i totally get it now. what helped me was getting a cheap tackle box with little dividers for all the cubes and tokens.

Saw my buddy dump all his tokens into a shoebox and spend twenty minutes sorting them before we even started.
