Helen Zhang (Chinese Teacher) says
日不暇给 (rì bù xiá jǐ) 日 (rì): refers to the day. 不 (bù): a negative adverb. 暇 (xiá): means free. 给 (jǐ): means is enough. We use this Chinese idiom to express that there are too many things to do, but there isn’t enough time.

"My two children are taking lessons at a local Chinese school. Because they are taking classes only at weekends, I was interested in finding an online approach that could supplement their learnings in schools. Your approach is easy to follow for my kids and they are already making good progress!"
