I think this mixes up two things: (1) segmentor-integrator dichotomy and (2) flexible working patterns. For example, I am an extreme segmentor (two laptops and two phones, both of which are either off or put away in silent mode when I'm not working; zero work-related stuff on any personal devices). At the same, my working patterns are very flexible. I just look at my diary first thing in the morning to figure which meetings I need to attend, and plan the rest of the day however I see fit. Going to the gym, for a run, sitting outside to read, running errands or getting a massage in the middle of the day are all completely normal. I encourage my reports to take a similarly flexible approach to working, regardless of where they are on the segmentor-integrator spectrum (most of them are integrators).
