*My favourite commonly used word--"Sorted"
It can be used in the following contexts:

Under control - "I had it sorted." like when Peter Pevensie felt he had the fight in the Underground handled & chided Edmund for intervening.

Command to 'get it together' - "Get it sorted." or "I need to get it sorted." especially when the subject is all over the place & muddled.
