I travel ~ 5 miles to work (takes about 30 minutes). I dont push myself to hard and I keep a spare t-shirt in the office. Arrive, swap t-shirt. Done. If my plans change I leave my bike at work and arrive on mass transit the next day.

There will always be more frameworks, languages and technologies to learn. Don't freak out. It is impossible to keep up with all of them just accept that you can never know everything. I'd recommend a 'wide and deep' str
