We are considering replacing the water heater with a tankless water heater. There was a vendor at the craft show in Spanish Springs a couple of months ago. This would not help with the time problem, but would not be heating water when not needed.
We had a tankless water heater when we lived on the NJ coast, great product. Tankless water heaters need natural gas or propane, since you live in St James you have electric only so I think you are out of luck.
