Up to

Hi

I would thank you if anyone tell me what does the following mean:

"What have you been up to?"

It's a familiar way of asking what you've been doing recently. It can also be used in the phrase "he's been up to no good", meaning that he has been naughty in some way. Also: I'm up to my eyebrows in paper work (it's really piling up), I'm busy.
