I disagree, part of the value of time tracking is that you can illustrate the many distractions you have during a day and consciously block off time to get into flow. Obviously this doesn't apply if you set your own priorities and objectives, but often (in organizations bigger than 1) your priorities are set or impacted by someone else's contribution.

That depends on how you do time tracking.
The most commonly described strategy is to write down what you are doing every 15 minutes. That definitely kills mental flow. A more useful one is to get a Freshbooks account and track whenever you change tasks.
When someone talks about time tracking I usually assume they are talking about something like the first strategy.
