Not much

I wondered if someone asked me ne yapıyorsun? And I answered çok şeyler yapmıyorum, how does that sound for an answer? I would say this if I´m not busy and don´t have plans that day but I´m not exactly bored or doing nothing. I think some people would answer hiç but that sounds to me like the person is bored. I´ll admit I´m trying to answer with the English ´not much´ but in Turkish.

Sana cevap vermek istiyorum ama üzgünüm seni anlayamadım(couldn´t understand). Can you say what you want to say again lütfen?

You can say; birşey yaptığım söylenemez.

Like a translation of this.

Q: What are you up to today?

A: Not much.

I would say; Bir şey yapmayacağım bugün. I won´t do anything today.

- Bugün ne yapıyorsun?

- Pek bir şey yapmıyorum.

(not engaged in doing anything but busy with some small routine tasks, yet not bored..)

It sounds OK. Kind of an answer you might as well hear from a native speaker...
