For me, whenever you start learning a new topic, I sit down with the appropriate books and block out distractions for hours at a time. Complete isolation in same familiar enviornment. No computer or routers to distract you. When you are commuting, in the car, walking, at work, staying in hotel ect... I think this time would be better put to review. Use notes you wrote up or re-read books with points you highlighted, maybe flashcards if you make them. I don't know what commuting is like for you, but I find using the CD to learn (vs. as a reference) is distracting and not as efficient as say a review session might have been.
