1. Get Your Equipment
Connecting to G-d through Minchah consists of nothing more than a Minyan, a Siddur and about ten minutes. If you'll be doing Minchah without a minyan, you can do it in as little as five.
2. Get Ready
Open your siddur to the pages containing the korbanot text, which describe the sacrifices brought daily in the Temple. These remind of us why we have tefillah. Recite "korbanot," as they're traditionally referred to, then turn to the page where the actual Minchah service begins.
3. Tefillah Express
All three Tefillot revolve around the Amidah, and Minchah is no exception. Because of time constraints, Minchah actually only consists of three sections: the Amidah, preceded by the recitation of Psalm 140 (a.k.a. Ashrei), and followed by the Tachanun and aleinu prayers. Your recitation of these three shouldn't take more than ten minutes, and bingo! You're done.
