Recently I attended two separate meetings where the topic of Job 1 and Job 2 was discussed. This topic was new to several of my coworkers and it was something I had not heard discussed in probably 20 years. For those of you not familiar with Job 1 and Job 2, allow me to explain:
Job 1 is our everyday job; it is what we were hired for. It is that whirlwind of activity that we face each day. Job 1 is spent addressing the urgent things that one needs to accomplish to meet commitments, deadlines, demands, etc. At the end of the day one goes home tired from accomplishing some of the things on that never-ending to-do list; only having to repeat the activity again the following day.
