Default easier way to measure and cut drywall?

I'm putting up drywall (actually wood panel but the application is the same)
for the kitchen and I found it very tedious to measure with ruler and
measuring tape.

I have to measure

width of the drywall needed, both at the top and the bottom in case it is
not square
height of the drywall (some wall passes under a window frame, so the height
varies)
openings for receptacles, switches, pipes

then I have to transfer the measurements to the drywall and cut them. This
is time consuming and error prone.

Is there any device that would ease the measuring part of this job?
