Crossword Genius

He got on badly, being very active (2,3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on the go

'very active' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he got on badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'he'+'got'+'on'='hegoton'
'hegoton' with letters rearranged gives 'ON THE GO'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for on the go that I've seen before include "Busy and active" , "Busily active" , "Always busy" , "Ever busy" , "Active, in constant motion" .)
