Abstract

Generation Z students face various academic, social, and digital pressures that may reduce productivity and increase the risk of burnout. This study aimed to develop a sustainable daily routine strategy through a digital journal-based mini project to foster a productive lifestyle and prevent burnout among university students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were 70 students from Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED) representing seven faculties. The developed product was Sejenak.id, a website integrated with a digital journal and educational Instagram content. The expert validation results indicated a feasibility score of 88%, categorized as highly feasible, while the small-group trial achieved an average score of 78%, indicating good practicality. The implementation results revealed an increase in students’ average scores from 64.81 in the pretest to 78.23 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference. These findings demonstrate that the digital journal-based daily routine strategy effectively assists students in managing daily activities, enhancing productivity, and reducing the potential risk of burnout in a sustainable manner.
