Hell no. Sometimes I reflect without typing anything for minutes. This time is essential to focus on the important parts. I also make pauses and get a coffee whenever I like.
Life isn't just work, I don't need to tune my productivity. I think my boss is happy I deliver reliably... more or less.
Context switches are deadly for productivity though, on that I agree. This is why I vastly prefer asynchronous communication. Yes, you can probably answer that mail tomorrow...
From a dashboard I expect that I can share its info with others working on a problem to sync our work. Don't know if that helps.
