Buy fresh yeast in stock
I like to buy fresh yeast in stock. I then keep the yeast cubes in the freezer compartment of my fridge and thus always have yeast available if I want to spontaneously bake cakes or breads.
A yeast cube is thawed within 10 minutes and ready to use. If I want to accelerate the process of thawing, I put the yeast cube in a small container and add 1 - 2 teaspoons of liquid honey over it. So the yeast thaws even faster and can be processed immediately.
If I need only 1/2 dice for a recipe, I just let it thaw, cut it in the middle and put the rest back into the freezer. Works great - try it out for yourself!
