Too fiddly...

Wiccans and other Witchcraft oriented folks,
how do you manage all the ridiculously fiddly requirements for The Craft?
This is a serious question!
Do you simply have drawers full of every imaginable stone, herb, incense, powder, essential oil, mystic oil and so on and so forth? Or do you improvise?
Do you build this up over years, or do you go out and purchase supplies for each working you plan ahead for?
I just read a book on witchcraft and was taken aback at the amount of herbs, oils, stones, candles and tools you are supposed to come up with for each working.
And then you have to wait until certain seasons and lunar aspects, which I can understand. But it still adds yet another dimension of effort.
I thought creating a circle, lamen, memorising a few rites and setting up a triangle with incense was a lot of work!
And then you must do it outside underneath the actual moon in question, with a High Priest and High Priestess.
And preferably a coven?!?
Good lord how do any of you get anything done!?
