Juggling jobs

Hi

Meal-replacement shakes are great for those of us who are on the go, juggling jobs and responsibilities, but still intent on getting proper nutrition each day.

--- Does it mean they're good for those who are always busy, change their jobs often and have different responsibilites?
  

Top answer

"on the go" = travelling from one place to another; busy with the sort of activity that requires one to move about a lot. "juggling jobs and responsibilities" doesn't mean that they change their jobs often. It means that they have a job (or more than one job), plus other responsibilities, and they have to "juggle" all these things in order to fit them into the time available.

For me, and for the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, it means 'very busy'. Movement is not necessarily implied.

OK, well I wouldn't personally describe someone sitting at a desk busy doing paperwork as "on the go".

I would, if he were trying to complete an important report, had a backlog of emails to catch up with and were constantly being interrupted by telephone calls and people with urgent problems coming to his office.
