With both kids living quite a distance away for years, my wife and I developed our own techniques for shortening the drive.
1) Pack a lunch for easy eating in the car so we don't need to stop for food.
2) Intentionally slightly dehydrate ourselves so we don't need to stop for restroom breaks between refueling stops.
3) Start early to avoid urban area commuting traffic.
4) Split a bottle of 5-Hour Energy between us if we begin to feel tired. Each small bottle is two servings per the label.
I made the drive between Ypsi and Miami in 21 hours of driving multiple times, in both the Northbound and Southbound directions.
