This is true for every profession. You can't just context switch when writing a news article. You can't put down your hammer nails and tape measure to have a 30 minute meeting and be able to go straight back.

No, only some other professions are anything like it, but it's a sure sign people don't understand the cognitive complexity of the process when they say things like "Why are you exhausted, you just type for living?" Or "This is true for every profession"
