Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on higher education globally. The rapid changes in the social environment have consequences for the allocation of time to international students' daily activities. This article explores the time management behaviour of international students and their time allocation for digital activities during a pandemic. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection methods using online focus group interviews and in-depth interviews. The subjects of this study were active international students from ten countries. The research findings show that international students make academic activities through online learning a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. They use their free time to do exercises on social media platforms, do personal hobbies, and social activities through digital communication media.

Key words: Time Management, Digital Activity, International Students, COVID-19
