overoccupied

Packed beyond capacity

Overoccupied means excessively busy or preoccupied—having too much demanding your attention.

Someone overoccupied with work neglects other parts of life: She was so overoccupied with the merger that she missed her daughter's recital.

The word can also describe physical spaces filled beyond comfortable capacity, though this use is less common.
