The idea expressed in the article is really just another way of saying concentrate on "doing the right things" more than "doing things right". In other words, create the space/time to regularly review what your current priorities and goals are. The important point here is that they CHANGE; hence the importance of regular reviews within GTD. A lot of this is expounded in David Allen's book Ready For Anything which never got the good reviews it deserved because people were expecting another nuts and bolts treatise like Getting Things Done. It's worth a read if you haven't already.
