Time management

I seem to be constantly time poor these days. When I went from part-time work/part-time ceramics to full-time ceramics I thought I would gain so much time. In reality, those extra days are spent working for the studio and I still only have 2.5 days to develop my own work. On top of that I have been asked to production throw some little tea bowls for the studio range. Each little bowl currently takes me about 8 minutes to make. I then need about the same amount of time to trim. At $1.50 per bowl I have worked out I earn about $5 an hour. The aim of course is to take less time per bowl which will in turn make me a better potter (and more money). The main production potter at JamFactory takes 1 minute to make the same bowl. I don't think I'll ever be that fast but I'll give it a try.
