Automatically transfer all excess funds into a separate account with penalties for withdrawal.
Money sitting on a savings account loses value. Buy stocks, indexes or ETFs with the money instead. The penalty for getting the money back is capital gains tax.

As for how long to leave it in savings, totally different question and depends on what you want from life.
This is the correct way to do it.
