For someone without a comprehensive Jewish education trying to use an Artscroll siddur, it can be very confusing, because the siddur includes many things that are not really obligatory or at least not said by everybody. If you want to do the minimum basic required morning prayers (shacharis), say the morning blessings, baruch sheamar, tehillim 145-50, yishtabach, the shema and its before and after blessings, the amidah, tachanun, ashrei/uva l’tzion, and aleinu. If you do it quickly you can be done in 15 or 20 minutes. But as people have said, the shema and the amidah are the most obligatory, so you should start with those and do only those if that’s all you can make time for.
