Saturday, September 27, 2025, VDMI RR Medan held a webinar themed “Self-Management and Time Discipline” with a focus on how to manage oneself and time effectively for students and young people. The event was opened by moderator Dita Purba, beginning with a prayer and the Indonesian national anthem, followed by a speech from the Chair of VDMI RR Medan, Yani Tarigan, who motivated participants to actively participate in the webinar.

The keynote speaker, Febriyanti Br. Surbakti, S.Si., M.Si., an alumnus of VDMI USU, emphasized the importance of self-awareness and time discipline as the key to achieving life goals. She stressed that time management is not just about being rigid, but about consistently prioritizing tasks to increase productivity. Practical strategies such as the Eisenhower Matrix and the Pomodoro Technique were introduced to help participants manage their schedules without neglecting self-care.
