I commute about 60 minutes each way (up to 90 if I miss the train and have to bus home) and I've found it to be a wonderful way to sneak in the extra learning I don't make time for once I'm home!
It's become a sort of ritual for me - in the morning on the way to work I listen to a short podcast, then with the rest of the time I study French. I'll either load up Duolingo or throw on a children's cartoon that's available in Français. On my way home from work I spend the time reading a technical or thought-provoking book of some kind (right now I'm reading Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans).
I always have my bike with me though, and if the weather's really nice (which it often is in Austin, TX) I'll put in some good music and just bike the whole 12 miles home. That takes me an hour as well, but it's an excellent way to decompress after the workday.
