Explanation
Busy means having a lot of work or activities to do, leaving little or no free time. A busy person might be working, studying, cleaning, or doing many tasks at once. The word can also describe a place with a lot of activity, such as a busy street full of people and cars. Sometimes “busy” can mean someone is not available to talk or meet. Being busy can be good if it means being productive, but too much busyness can cause stress. People often need balance between busy times and rest.
