You are asigning a string to t (the result of calling Format) instead of a Time (the result of calling Now). Here's an working example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    t := time.Now()
    fmt.Println(t.Format(time.RFC3339))

    t = t.Add(time.Second)
    fmt.Println(t.Format(time.RFC3339))
}

// prints
// 2017-01-21T16:51:31-05:00
// 2017-01-21T16:51:32-05:00
