Ducks in a row

ducks_in_a_row To get your ducks in a row means to organise your things well. It’s American English.

Examples:

With the recession looming, the government has to get its ducks in a row and invest in job creation.

The company’s owner has given his managers a few days to get their ducks in a row. If they don’t improve their performance he’ll fire them.

Take note

If someone is described as a sitting duck it means they are vulnerable to criticism or attack.

Example:

The platoon ended up behind enemy lines. With no reinforcements from Central Command they were sitting ducks.
