Monday’s set points
nThe evaluations reveal Derek’s set points:
n
nCFO – Respond immediately to her. 
nAll the rest – Delay them.
n
nThe set points are unspoken feelings or senses about how quickly he must respond to each person.  “I have to respond to the CFO immediately.  I can delay Aaron.”  His set point for the CFO is “immediately.”  He hasn’t yet reached his set point for the other three people; their responses can be delayed.
nDerek reviews the other 35 e‑mails and decides to respond right away to 9 others as well.  That leaves 30 e‑mails he is not responding to on Monday.
