Assessing the e-mails on Monday
nLooking at his full in-box, Derek thinks to himself,
n“I have a pile of work to do, so I’ll just respond
to the e‑mails that are most important.” 
nAmong the 40 e-mails in his in-box are the five
e-mails he received today that we’re following.
He assesses which he must respond to immediately
and which he can put off so he can get to other
work he has to do.  He thinks to himself,
n
n1 from Aaron – No, Aaron can wait.  He’ll understand.
n2 from Jean – Jean will figure that out.  I’ll wait.
n1 from the consultant – He needs my input, but not today.
n1 from the CFO – I’ll do this one right now.
