I know you’ve all got full 1 timetables 2, but your feedback 3 would be really useful for me.
1 full: The term "busy" is used here to describe the "full" or "active" nature of Susie's colleagues' schedules or agendas. She is saying that they all have lots of things to do every day. To be "busy" is to be "occupied". Example: I've had a very busy morning: I walked the dog, cleaned the house, and polished the silverware.
1 boring: This is incorrect. The term "boring" means "dull" or "uninteresting" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
1 big: This is incorrect. The term "big" means "large" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
1 exciting: This is incorrect. The term "exciting" means "very interesting" or "entertaining" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
2 timetables: The term "schedule" describes a "timetable" or a list of things to be done. Susie is referring to the fact that her colleagues have many tasks to perform every day: they have lots to do. Example: I'll try to find space in my schedule to go to visit my sick mother this month. Note: we could also use the term "agenda" in this context (which also describes a list of things to be discussed in a meeting).
2 plannings: "Planning" is a term used to describe a method decided in advance, or the act of making a plan. It does not share a similar meaning with "schedule", and moreover, it is never used in the plural.
2 journals: A "journal" can be one of two things: a personal diary used for writing thoughts and feelings, or a scholarly periodical. Neither shares a similar meaning with "schedule".
3 feedback: The term "input" describes someone's contribution to a discussion, debate, or panel, or their "feedback". Note that in a different context, "input" can also describe the energy or data given to a machine. Examples: "Your input has been very interesting", "You should input accurate data to the computer if you want an accurate output".
3 presence: Nice try, but "presence" is different in meaning from "input". "Presence" refers to the act of attending something, such as a meeting.
3 time: Susie is grateful that her colleagues are giving some of their time to her project, but this term does not share a similar meaning with input.

1 topic: "Topic" is the right answer here. A "topic (of conversation)" is a "subject (of conversation)". Example: "Ask me a question about any topic, and I'm sure to know the answer".
2 busy: "Busy" is the best answer. When someone is "busy", they are "occupied" or have lots of things to do in a short space of time. Example: "Darling, you're always so busy. When will you give me a massage?".
