I'm working on it


Explanation:
Whenever I've heard this termed used in colloquial Spanish, I've understood it to mean something like "I'm working on it" or "I'll be on the lookout for it".

it's on the to-do list/schedule


Explanation:
Although the source text says "estoy pendiente", which is equivalent to monitoring, it appears the intended meaning is that the pending task is on the to-do list or schedule for next week. However, there is no explicit promise of delivery.
