manage
Keep things running
Manage means to handle, direct, or control something successfully.
You manage a business, a team, or your finances.
To manage is also to cope or get by: We'll manage somehow.
If you manage to do something, you succeed despite difficulty: She managed to finish before the deadline.
A more dismissive sense implies barely tolerating: I can't manage another bite.
