Depends on your definition of high performer. If you prize delivering short-term value by chugging through the task pile faster than other people can, then sure this article is not aligned with your ideals. That is not what I would call high performance; I would much rather be someone who can take a razor/lawnmower to that pile of tasks and do exactly the subset (down to potentially none at all) which delivers the most marginal value for the units of time I think are warranted for the project as a whole - then repeat until the goals are met.
