Feb 19 – Behind the Scenes Work has a nature of invisibility

invisible

 

Today I spent over 2 hours of my day working on two different projects where the time I spent will never be noticed by those see the result of the preparation.  At the end of the day when I had to divide my work hours into the statistical form we use to track out work I was amazed at how much time I had spent doing what to some was “invisible” work.

 

I am not alone in this line of invisible work.  For every front line contact patients receive there are a whole host of people behind the scenes working to make sure things are all properly lined up for their encounter.  So today I want to commend all readers who regularly involve themselves in behind the scenes preparations that do attract a lot of attention or thought by those who benefit from them.
