Having worked warehousing and manufacturing jobs, secretarial jobs, and creative jobs, I can confidently tell you that 6 hours of "creative work" is *much* more taxing that 10 or 12 hours of "picking up heavy things and putting them down again" (our unofficial job description for a warehousing job I had at Proctor and Gamble), or any of the secretarial work I did. YMMV, of course. However, I had some great creative moments, conceived of some great music, while doing that warehousing job, mostly because I wasn't consciously thinking about music at the time. (I was working at P&G as a summer job during college, and during that same summer I did a sound design with original music for a community theater production of _The Bad Seed_.)Creative work can have people with more endurance than, for example, non-physical drudge work or physical labor. Many more people find the creative work enjoyable and so can work at it longer without tiring. That is one reason why you see more people voluntarily working overtime for creative jobs and not for jobs like secretary or construction worker.
