I'm trying to describe someone who burns the candle at both ends. They work full-time, they study full-time, they have creative projects on the go, they raise their family and manage their property – etc… all at the same time.
I want to use a word to sum this up but will also hang a small definition on (similar to what is above) after the word to clear up what it means.
Words like multi-tasker spring to mind but this does not convey the meaning I want to give. I also considered words like dexterous and agile – but again, these don't seem quite right.
Given that people often use the term 'juggling' to describe people that 'juggle' their work, study and private lives, I thought there might be a nice adjective to describe the skill that a good juggler has but I can't find something suitable for this either.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated. The context is that of a reference for employment or a CV.
