"You’ll end up spending your entire day “being productive” without actually achieving anything."
Well, if you didn't achieve anything, you aren't really being productive.
I think a lot of people get confused between 'what you do' and 'how you do'.
Choosing the most important thing you need to do in the day first, or the 3 most important things you need done, etc is "what to do". When you have issues with that you spend your day working in things that dont optimally lead you towards your goals.
Doing it in the zone, at night while you spend the day on twitter or hacker news, etc is 'how you do'. When people have issues with this they get to the end of the day and notice the tasks they set up to do haven't been done to the person's full potential.
Auditing your time and thinking 'should I really be doing this?' is a 'what to do' tool. It has nothing to do with the fact you work at night or during the day.
