I know, that probably sounds a bit counterproductive. But in today’s social media, uber connected, always on world engaging in those mediums is nearly inevitable. And there’s nothing wrong with that. They can be great relationship building tools.

So, rather than feeling guilty about wasting time on twitter or letting Facebook interrupt your work flow, schedule small blocks of time to check into your communities there. Scheduling the time will help you keep yourself accountable to keeping those breaks short & getting back to work.

How do you fit social media into your work day?
