The best advice I can give you is to utilise Barlow Trail much more so then taking Deerfoot. Ever since that new overpass bridge got built on Glenmore, it's been a god send. I don't even try to go on Deerfoot coming home from downtown. Glenmore is pretty bare for the most part because of that bridge. Then take the turn off for Barlow, and really the only buildup is on 114th by the Deerfoot Casino. By going this way, you completely avoid the cluster#### that is the Southland/Anderson bottleneck.
I do the same going to work, I just take Barlow now. Although I leave early enough to miss most of rush hour, I just find that drive much more peaceful and calming then Deerfoot.
During rush hour (each way) I can make it to and from downtown in 25-30 minutes. It's decent, considering I expected it to be way longer when I first move there.

Shut up about Barlow dude, it's still secret.
