BE ON YOUR TOES:

Be careful; be prepared; be ready;

watch yourself;

be sure to follow the rules

FOR EXAMPLE:

I’m going to Las Ramblas in Barcelona. – > Be on your toes, there are a lot of pick-pockets there.

Do you smoke cigarettes at home? – > No way, I have to be careful around my wife.  She keeps me on my toes.
