I've run an IT consulting firm where accurate time keeping was critical to our success. And I've done a host of other jobs that required time keeping for internal accounting, audit, or just management purposes. It truly isn't onerous if a) the tracking tool is easy to use and b) it becomes habit rather than a chore. Clearly b is more important than a.
I've found the people who consistently opposed time tracking were often the people who weren't using time efficiently, and therein lies some of the friction.

This is actually a big part of the frustration. I feel inefficient. But I feel that I'm inefficient because I'm interrupted a lot, my priorities are shifted around on me, etc. None of this is reflected there. Even with scheduled and impromptu meetings dutifully tracked, when I look at the bare numbers, all I see is "took three days to do something which should have been an afternoon."
