Here, "demanding" means that something requires a lot of effort, skill, time, or energy! So, in a similar way to how we might "demand" a product or item, there are tasks that "demand" and require our energy, time, skill, and so on. Ex: Being a doctor or a nurse is a very demanding job. You have to do late-night shifts and focus for lengthy amounts of time. Ex: Construction work is physically demanding, so all the workers have to be fit enough to do the job.
