frenetic
Chaotically fast-paced
Frenetic describes activity that is fast, energetic, and somewhat chaotic—hurried to the point of seeming frantic or uncontrolled: the frenetic pace of city life, a frenetic rush to meet the deadline.
The word suggests intensity bordering on wildness, often with an undercurrent of anxiety or desperation.
A frenetic schedule leaves no time to breathe.
