I realise that none of us wake up wanting to get more emails, but these emails are great, I promise. Sign-up today. A great step to take towards creating a great 2026.
I am a child of the blog and email generations. It is why I run a blog and still do mailing lists.
One day I might venture forth into new mediums, but our mailing lists remain a primary channel through which I communicate stuff. And given that I tend to focus on slightly longer-form content, they remain one of the better options.
There are 3 mailing lists you can join. One is the general mailing list for BetterU. The other two are more specialised.
Our primary mailing list is the BetterU one with almost 3000 subscribers. If you are reading this, having clicked through from an email, you are already on that mailing list (go you!). If not, you can join here. Emails on this list go out weekly and cover a diversity of wellbeing topics, drawing from the latest news and articles added to the BetterU website. And it isn’t just me writing for BetterU. We have students on placement with us from Social Work, Public Health and Psychology who are writing about wellbeing.
The first is the Procrastination Mailing List. Subscribers to this mailing list get an email every 3 weeks on the topic of procrastination and other related productivity topics (e.g. time management). Email content is inspired by the Studyology program, a program developed here at Flinders that teaches a mindful approach to tackling procrastination. This is the mailing list to be on if you are compulsive delayer and it is starting to annoy you. 140+ students have joined this little community. Topics covered in 2026 have included calendaring systems, self-regulation, procrastination trajectories, inner and outer approaches to procrastination, health procrastination, mindful check-ins and building your own tackling procrastination system.
The second is the Be Well Plan/ Mental Health Mailing List. Subscribers to this mailing list get an email also every 3 weeks on the topic of mental health and how you look after it. Email content is inspired by the Be Well Plan, a mental health and resilience program that was running here at Flinders and that I am committed to reviving in 2026 (once I have cloned myself). This is the mailing list you join if you want to learn practical and actionable strategies for looking after your mental health. 70+ students have joined this little community. Topics covered in 2026 include self-talk, managing overwhelm, stress reducers, foundational habits, personalising your plan and help seeking
If any of these sound interesting to you, you can sign up to them at their respective links.
