I use RescueTime to track what I end up doing and how much I end up working and if anything my productivity has only increased. It's not a perfect measurement but it helps me to realize its not at all expensive to unchain myself from my desk.

Too many times we "lie" to ourselves, and think that if we're at our desk, we're working (and being productive).
