very busy · overwhelmed with tasks
Feeling like your desk is a mountain of tasks? ⛰️ This expression is your go-to when you're super busy and feeling a bit overwhelmed. It literally means you're covered in work, like a swamp! 🐊
💡 **Pro Tip!** You can use 'swamped' by itself, like "I'm swamped right now," or specify with what you're swamped, e.g., "swamped with emails," "swamped with requests." It's great for politely declining new tasks or explaining why you might be a bit slow to respond.
When is the most appropriate time to use 'swamped with work'? A. 🥳 When you've just finished a big presentation in a meeting. B. 📝 When you're frantically busy with too many tasks and can't take on more. C. 🏖️ When you are relaxing leisurely on the beach during vacation.
