Has anyone looked at the article on the US home page?
http://us.deskdemon.com/pages/us/career/informationsystemAm I missing something? There are only FIVE options that my eyes see:

There are only 6 things you can do with any piece of information:
Discard—Permanently get rid of it. Ask yourself the tough questions—do you really have the time to read it? What’s the worst that could happen if you discard the item? Can you get another copy if necessary? You must be ruthless in this stage! Studies have shown we only refer to 20% of all the information we insist on saving. Today, the question is not, “Can I throw this away?†but “Why should I keep this?â€
Delegate—Refer the item to someone else. Get it going “out the door†to that person right away. We cannot “manage by doing†in the DigitalAge, so give away as much as possible.
Do—If you have the time to complete, review, sign, or reply to the item, do it immediately. Then get it going back out the door to the requester. This step is generally for action items that will only require two to five minutes to complete. Investing the time now will save time in the long run because you won’t review the item over and over again.
Date—For items you can’t work on immediately, determine when you need to see the item again and put in the appropriate dated storage system.
5. Drawer—File items you can’t toss, delegate, and that don’t require any action.
Deter—Halt the information; keep it from getting to you in the first place. Stopping reports, memos, letters, minutes, catalogues, magazines, and junk mail that you don’t need or have time to read.
If you think of these options each
OK... I see the problem... What I pasted above did not include the automatic numbering, which is where the sixth seems to have been dropped. The #5 item is mixed in with the #4 item, and #5 should really be #6.
SOOOOO... Can someone please fix the page?
Thanks!
