That giant sucking sound you can still hear is the amount of time it takes to hit delete a hundred times LOL. So Kennick just triggered an idea so I checked it out...
To conserve the most time but still stay on top of the BLOGS my "FRIENDS" are writing, I turned off the emails.
Now the first thing I see as I scroll through is the blogs all you SMART PEOPLE like the most, so if I don't have time for the others then I just don't...
Whew... this is too cool! Just try it for a day or so.
To STOP EMAILS you do this:

- Click on your PROFILE ICON (top right of screen with your big head on it)
- Then ACCOUNT SETTINGS
- Scroll down to EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
- Click NO.
---You just saved HOURS AND HOURS of precious work time in a few seconds---
Next, to scan headlines of people you follow, do this:
Click on...
- ACTIVITY DASHBOARD (Black button top left of the screen, with the little house icon) then...
- ACTIVITY (Blue button just to the right... on the same bar where you pick NOTIFICATION on the left) then...
- FRIENDS (Just below the activity bar. Notice you can choose a bunch of other options here - for instance, you can see the whole community's blog headlines if you want! And miss NOTHING! And you can change the format of the Activity and see the first couple of lines of text to perhaps buy a clue before you waste time opening.)
I've done it for now. I'll see how it goes. If someone can think of a reason I should go back to my click-delete-click-delete days, I'm all ears!
Hope this helps somebody else ;). I'm feelin pretty free and efficient right now!

UPDATE: Hey, NWTDennis just showed me a blog by HelenDoyle where she showed individual email choices. If you guys want to keep webinar notifications, for instance, you just go back and click YES to receive emails again, and uncheck everything but Webinars. I just did that one for now. We'll see if I miss any other stuff, but I doubt it! Sorry I didn't know that before I wrote the blog! -A
