To be on a kick...

Chloe: I keep asking everybody to come up with some
standardized trouble alert. The team needs structure. Order?

Oliver: Is that what we're lacking? You're really on a kick (unable to stand still?)

Personal phone conversations... Bank records... Amazon wish list.

Hi Madhulk, You're correct that "structure" means "order". "On a kick" means that you've been really focused on one certain idea or habit. This is often used as "I've been on a health kick lately," meaning that you've been focused on trying to eat healthy, exercise, etc.
