on the go
Never standing still
On the go describes a state of being busy, active, or in constant motion.
Someone who is always on the go rarely sits still, moving from one activity or place to another.
The phrase also characterizes things designed for use while traveling or moving about: I grabbed an on-the-go breakfast.
Food, entertainment, and technology marketed as on-the-go emphasize portability and convenience for people with busy, mobile lifestyles.
