It`s about the same.
"Full" is the English word meaning complete and taken as such into this expression in Spanish to mean you are full of stuff to do, your To Do ist is full, complete.
So, instead of
Estoy a mil (running at 1000 km/h), they say
estoy a "full", so busy... my schedule does not have any empty or blank entry, I am exhausted, sorry I can`t take care of that, etc, you choose according to the context.
This expression I understand is used mostly among teens and young adults.
