Tajitatan
This is the first post for a month.
I could not write English essays on Lang-8 because I have been given a lot of work from several facilities.
To describe situations where you need to do many things and are busy, you can say the four-character idiom tajitatan (多事多端).
Since ta (多) means "many," ji (事) means "thing," and tan (端) means "beginning/edge," the literal meaning of tajitatan is "many things and beginnings."
As you can image, a situation where there are many things that you have to begin is a very busy situation.

多事多端
1ヶ月ぶりの投稿となります。
最近私は大学の用務が忙しく、英語のエッセイを書けませんでした。
このようにするべき仕事が多く忙しいことを「多事多端」と言います。
「多」は "many"、「事」は "thing"、「端」は "beginning/edge" を意味するので、「多事多端」の文字どおりの意味は "many things and beginnings" となります。
多くの始めるべき事があるような状況は、忙しい状況であるというわけです。
