💡 **Heads up!** While 'get your act together' can sound a bit firm, it's often used among friends or colleagues in a supportive (or exasperated but still friendly) way. It means to literally 'collect your thoughts and actions' to achieve a goal. It's a common idiom in both personal and professional contexts. 📝
