I'm very busy · I have many commitments · I have a lot to deal with
This is your go-to phrase when life throws a bunch of tasks, events, or general busyness your way. 🌪️ It's a polite and versatile way to say you're occupied without having to list every single thing! Perfect for declining an invite or explaining why you're a bit distracted. 😅
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression is super useful because it's vague enough to cover anything from work projects and social plans to personal errands or even just a busy mind. You can use it to politely decline an invitation (e.g., 'I'd love to, but I've got a lot going on.') or explain a delay. Just remember, it implies being *actively* busy, not just 'thinking a lot' (that's 'a lot on my mind').
Your friend asks you to join a spontaneous road trip, but you have multiple work deadlines, family commitments, and an upcoming appointment. Which English expression best describes your situation? A. I'm taking a chill pill B. I'm hitting the sack C. I've got a lot going on
