Diagram in the link preview (and also in the article) is a little confusing, because "invaluable" subverts the usual meaning of the "in" prefix, with "invaluable" meaning:

extremely useful; indispensable

Which makes the diagram suggest that deep focus gets good results, but unfocused and distracted work gets the best results.
