		<description>Hi Chuck,

Thanks for another great list, just like the  previous one on the same topic.

I had a question about the first item:

&quot;Map out your employees, their positions and their responsibilities - sort of like an organization chart on steroids. Visualizing this information will make it easier for you to see who is overloaded, who may not have enough work and where you may be able to streamline departments and job functions.&quot;

I have been trying to do just this recently after hearing David Allen&#039;s mentor Dean Acheson suggest just this in a GTD Connect &quot;In Conversation&quot; episode.

What I wanted to do was overlay a human organisation chart with a functional chart pretty much as you descibe.

Now I am bumping up against an information design problem and wondered how you might present such information on a mindmap?</description>

		<description>Great list.  Here are another two.

Map out your web site(s) and add a sub topic to each page stating its purpose.  You could add some web site stats: page views, time on page etc. You will probably identify some strengths and weaknesses.

Map out the social networking sites you are active on.  Show some measures of your activity e.g. blogs, messages in the last month, number of contacts and measures of the responses you get: number of comments, sales enquiries!  In MindManager you could add a mini-spreadsheet per measures and track them monthly.</description>
