"Run (oneself or someone) ragged" có từ ragged là rách rưới, tả tơi -> cụm từ này nghĩa là tự làm mình/ai kiệt sức bằng việc để họ lao đầu làm nhiều việc, gắng hết sức lực hoàn thành công việc; cứ khiến mình bận rộn.

Ví dụ
“I'm thinking, `If I'm going to spend the night on the bench, why would I want to run myself ragged at 6 in the morning?' ” Melchionni said.

My grades dipped because of a lack of focus, but I worked really hard in wrestling (đấu vật) just to exhaust myself and run myself ragged to the point I couldn't think.".

I have zero idea. I have a very, very forgiving, loving and supportive husband. And I’m so thankful for that. He is the one who allows me to run myself ragged on the road and miss him and my puppy while he takes care of it at home while he works two jobs.
