Gadgets, office gossip, social networking, Internet, blogging, writing columns are commonly time murderers. Keep all these from eating away your time at run. Keep your office life and social life separate. You will discover that you're able to finish your work early. Sure, you have to have some fun in office but be careful of time you dedicate to it. Hesitate before you commit a deadline to find a task. Give notice up front if genuine effort a wait around. If there is a problem, nip it the actual bud
