As a busy woman entrepreneur managing both business and family commitments, I discovered my passion for personal productivity and efficiency early on. This journey began after reading “Cheaper By the Dozen” by Frank Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, which inspired me to optimize every moment and turn idle time into productive opportunities.
Before social media distractions like Facebook, I honed the skill of using time wisely—reading in queues, updating to-do lists while waiting, or making phone calls in my parked car. The secret was always being prepared to make the most of each moment.
My affinity for technology started in my childhood, with my programmer parents instilling in me a deep respect and appreciation for tech.
As a Time Management Coach, I’m enthusiastic about discovering new devices, apps, and programs that can save you precious time throughout the day. I work with my clients to harness the power of technology, automating tasks that could otherwise take hours. Together, we fearlessly explore and unlock the full potential of technology to boost your productivity and success.
As your dedicated Productivity Coach, I’ll empower you with effective strategies to find and create focused moments in your daily routine. At Tidy Your Time, we collaborate with you to identify those precious pockets of time, such as when your coffee is brewing, and leverage them to their fullest potential.

We’ll help you put your oxygen mask on first, so you can thrive both personally and professionally. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential!

WHO ARE YOU?
Hi! I am Jamie Steele! I am Austin’s time management and technology guru, a productivity specialist, and a digital organizer. I am based in Pflugerville, Tx just outside of Austin, but work “virtually anywhere.”
I work with busy entrepreneurs to find the order in their day. Organizing time and technology I help you to create an environment that promotes productivity so you can focus on your passions. I believe with the aid of technology that you can work with your day in sync with your priorities.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
As productivity experts, we will teach you how to find and create focus spots in your routine. At Tidy Your Time LLC we work collaboratively with you to ask what can you do while that first cup of coffee is brewing. We look at the whole environment and see where we can help you to reduce clutter and save steps to give you more time for what matters to you.
It means assessing your priorities and getting rid of what doesn’t need to be “to-done.”
It means creating time for your self-care. If we are rested and refreshed, we can be there for others. We must put our oxygen mask on first.
WHAT ARE YOUR PASSIONS?
I first fell in love with personal productivity and efficiency after reading Cheaper By the Dozen by Frank Gilbreth Jr and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. Getting things done in pockets of time where I would be standing or sitting around with nothing to do became an obsession of mine.
This was before Facebook so that natural distraction wasn’t there. I would read while waiting in line when waiting at the post office I would update my to-do lists, or I would make phone calls while sitting parked in the car. There is always something to do you just have to be prepared to do it.
My passion for technology also started at a young age. My parents are programmers. They taught me to be respectful but not afraid of technology.
I love exploring new devices, apps, and programs to help save time in the day. I help my clients utilize their technology to automate tasks that would take hours to do otherwise. I teach them to be brave and explore what their technology can do for them.
WHAT IS YOUR STORY?
When I moved to Austin in 1999, I was an administrative manager at Chez Zee Restaurant in Austin, TX. My job was to create and teach systems and procedures so that anyone could walk in and do the job, no matter the job.
I developed systems for opening and closing the restaurant that saved time. I created filing systems that multiple people could easily access and maintain. It was my responsibility to recognize when something had fallen out of order and to make adjustments when necessary.
After the birth of my son, I left Chez Zee to work at The Container Store part-time where I was an Elfa Space Designer. I designed shelving systems for clothes closets, pantries, desks, playrooms, and garages. Working at The Container Store helped me to understand that each person’s organizational needs were unique. Customers may have had the same organizational problem, but the solution was always different.
When my son started kindergarten it was important to me that I be able to drop him off for school and pick him up. I need to do something that fit my schedule.
One day it came to me. I need to start my own business helping people to get organized. I knew it was a profession from working at The Container Store. Organizing teams were in and out of the store all day.
When I opened my business I used my last name and the word organizing because I could not think of a name I loved. I started Steele Organizing in 2012.
When I started Steele Organizing, I joined the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). I am currently the NAPO-Austin Director of Communication and Technology and the Immediate Past President. Through NAPO, I am connected to a network of people who share my passions.
While I love organizing spaces, my passion as always been productivity and digital organization. In early 2019 I was metaphorically struck by lightning again. The name Tidy Your Time inserted itself into my brain.
It took me a few months, but I got Tidy Your Time up and running quickly. I formed an LLC and have been helping entrepreneurs find space in their calendar so they can focus on their passions ever since.
My story doesn’t end there. I recently completed the Coaching Essentials course from the Coach Approach. I am so happy to be able to bring coaching skills to my client sessions. The ultimate goal is to become a certified productivity coach.
WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?

I am energized by helping successful people. Knowing that the systems we create and the productivity strategies you learn will have long-lasting effects that makes my heart happy.
