Most of my students have a hectic time before they set off on their holiday, busy getting their ducks in a row so they can switch off and not worry about anything while on vacation. So, what does «getting your ducks in a row» mean? It means to prepare and organize everything carefully to ensure that you are ready for something. It involves making sure all details are taken care of and everything is in place before starting a task, project, or plan.
Examples:
- Before we kick off our new project, let’s make sure we have all our ducks in a row regarding the budget and timeline.
- We need to get our ducks in a row before the trip by booking the flights, reserving the hotel, and planning our itinerary.
By getting your ducks in a row, you can enjoy your holiday or any other activity with peace of mind, knowing that everything is well-organized and under control.
