I'm not saying reaching out for help if needed is bad - rather that an unscheduled call is a huge context switch. Async is preferable.

For me, async conversations are a continuous drain on my attention over a longer period, rather than a call which I can devote 100% of my attention to for a shorter period and then get back to giving 100% of my attention to other things.

Imo when you go with async communication you pay the cost of that context switch over and over, with interest.
