PICs Picks: Digest Emails - Controlling the Flow
Guest Blogging Post by Anne Schneider, Public Interest Coordinator
As you join bar associations or are setting your LinkedIn group setting preferences, there are generally opportunities to request that emails be sent in digest format. A digested email simply provides you a summary of all the activity on the discussion list or in the group for the period specified (generally daily or once a week). You can adjust the settings depending on the timeliness of the discussions, as well as it could you help you identify which emails you are routinely deleting without even reading. If this is the case, it may be a sign that your membership is in name only, and it may be time to cut your ties and find groups whose information, events, and activities you will actively engage.
