What does ponerse las pilas mean?

ExpressionColoquial

to get your act together

Putting your batteries in. It names the moment the effort started, which is why it usually arrives with a date attached to it.

Tengo el examen dentro de dos semanas, así que tengo que ponerme las pilas.
Said before the effort, not after it.
