The point about context switching being costly is definitely something that the general public doesn't get. If you ask most people whether they can multitask, they will proudly say yes. Bosses don't care about deep work either. I have been in jobs where they interrupted me every half an hour. I remember switching between 4 or more tasks trying to get anything done. It would all just get muddled in my head making it hard to keep track of what I was doing.
