This is an interesting question. Many words capture the "busy" side or the "punctual" side, but those qualities are often mutually exclusive in people. I can certainly be a multitasker yet show up slightly late for all my appointments. :-( On the other hand, I can easily be punctual when I do not have a busy life.

The closest word I can think of that might suggest both qualities is expeditious, as in, "My mother is known for her expeditious handling of matters."

It means "done with speed and efficiency", which suggests the person may be both on-time and at least capable of handling a busy life, though they may not actually have one. So this is also not the perfect word, but maybe it is helpful.
