"i just don't have it together like you do"

i saw the sentence "I just don't have it together like you do. " on a american tv series "Baby Daddy"
and the subtitle translate it as "I'm not that as excellent as you." because the man is making an apology to a lady.
so i was wondering if the sentence "have it together like you do" has that kind of meaning.
sorry if i didn't make my point clear enough

Answer

"together" is another way of saying organized, all in the right place. Otherwise things would all be seperated in one place or another not knowing what or where. Together is therefore a brief way of saying someone has their act organized, planned, set up
