jumps around
Hops here, there
Jumps around describes moving from place to place with quick, irregular leaps, or more figuratively, shifting rapidly between topics, tasks, or locations without settling: The documentary jumps around in time, He jumps around from job to job.
The phrase suggests restless, unfocused movement rather than deliberate progression.
