Best Answer

If you are on the go, you are always moving. This can be literal, as in someone who travels a lot or who moves from one place to another frequently. This can also be figurative, as in someone who has a lot of work and is very busy trying to keep up with it all. "He's really on the go!" you would say if you saw someone working really hard.
