I realise that none of us wake up wanting to get more emails, but these emails are great, I promise.
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 three mailing lists you can join. One is the general mailing list for BetterU. The other two are more specialised. Here’s what you can expect from each.
BetterU mailing list
A good fit if: You’d like a mix of wellbeing ideas, student perspectives, programs and opportunities.
Our primary mailing list is the BetterU one, with almost 3,000 subscribers. If you are reading this having clicked through from a BetterU email, you are already on that mailing list (go you!).
Emails 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.
In your inbox: Regular emails bringing together the latest BetterU content.
Procrastination mailing list
A good fit if: You keep putting things off and it is starting to annoy you.
Subscribers get emails on procrastination and related productivity topics, such as time management. Email content is inspired by Studyology, a program developed here at Flinders that teaches a mindful approach to tackling procrastination. More than 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, increasing perfectionism in students, mindful check-ins and building your own tackling-procrastination system.
In your inbox: An email about every three weeks.
Mental health mailing list
A good fit if: You want practical, actionable strategies for looking after your mental health.
Email content is inspired by the Be Well Plan, a mental health and resilience program that has run here at Flinders. The list began alongside that program, but you don’t need to have done it to join.
More than 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.
In your inbox: An email about every three weeks.
