agree  yam2u: mona, perhaps 'bekerja berlebihan' would better reflect the 'excessive' sense inherent in overdrive, i.e. the body works more excessively, not harder.

yam2u's words "produktiviti/penumpuan" might be a better choice instead of the word I had used i.e. "kegiatan."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  yam2u: 'kegiatan' can also be replaced with 'productiviti/penumpuan' as 'overdrive' in this context means basically getting into a state of high or excessive activity/productivity/concentration, and i'd add 'mengalami' before it
