Tem (impersonal)
In informal questions, “tem” (third‑person singular of *ter*) works like “there is/are” and does not need a subject.
Alguma (indefinite adjective)
“Alguma” agrees in gender and number with the noun that follows; here it modifies the feminine singular noun *dica*.
Pra (para)
“Pra” is the colloquial contraction of *para* and is common in spoken Brazilian Portuguese.
Se organizar (reflexive verb)
The verb *organizar* is used reflexively with *se* to mean “to get oneself organized”.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the informal contraction *pra* is preferred in spoken language, especially among younger speakers. Using *tem* without a subject is perfectly natural in questions, but in more formal writing you might say *Existe alguma dica para se organizar?* Also, Brazilians often share practical hacks ("hacks de organização") in casual conversation, so feel free to ask for specific tools or apps.
