bustler

Perpetually busy person

A bustler is someone who bustles—moving with energetic, busy activity.

The word suggests purposeful hurrying and industriousness: She was a bustler, always tidying something or rushing off to her next errand.

Less common than the verb bustle, it describes a person characterized by constant motion and productivity.
