jugglable

Fit for tossing

Jugglable describes something that can be juggled—kept in motion by tossing and catching.

The word applies literally to objects of suitable size and weight for a juggler: Tennis balls are more jugglable than bowling pins.

Figuratively, it describes tasks or responsibilities that can be managed simultaneously: Three meetings in one afternoon? Barely jugglable.
