I'm looking to translate "To get your ducks in a row". In English, this more or less translates into "To be fully prepared for something that is going to happen".

When I look for this in similar phrases the things I get back are more or less literal expressions like *Приведи свои дела в порядок*. However, I've also seen this *Так что выстраивай своих уточек* Is the latter phrase used much at all?

Would the following expression suffice?

*Едешь на день, хлеба бери на неделю*
