to have limited time · to have many commitments
You're chatting about a trip, and someone asks if you have time for an extra activity, but your itinerary is packed. Or maybe you're meeting up with a friend who's just visiting. 🗓️⌚ This expression means your time is really limited, often because you have a lot of plans or appointments. No room for spontaneity! 😅
When would you use 'to be on a tight schedule'? A. 🎉 When you're relaxing with no plans. B. ⏱️ When you have many appointments and little free time. C. 😴 When you're just waking up and have the whole day free.
💡 This phrase is super useful when you need to politely decline an invitation or explain why you can't linger. It shows you're busy, but not necessarily unwilling. It's a classic way to manage expectations without being rude! ✨
