Captain’s Chair
In order to get those breaks we crave, sometimes it’s best to schedule some non-schedule time for yourself.

Scheduling Non-Schedule Time
Most of us live in a very scheduled world. Work can become a little predictable at times and regardless of our career path, the responsibilities tend to pile up. Back when I first started as editor of PDB, the magazine had a little bit of an off-season. Today however, I seem to travel just as much this time of year with boat shows and other events as I do in the summer when statistically more people are actually boating. Just to clarify, I’m not complaining. I’m just making an observation about how busy our lives have become as the demands for our time seem to be reaching an all-time high.

Beyond our employment routines, even our PTO (paid time off) can be a little hectic, depending on what stage of life we’re in. When I’m not traveling for work or sitting behind a computer monitor, I’m typically on some type of field or court. Not for myself, since athletically I’m well past my expiration date, but as a year-round youth coach. I’m involved in teaching kids in our area different sports and while it’s basically a non-paying, part-time gig, I do enjoy being Coach Big K.

When it comes to getting the inside scoop on current trends and looking ahead at what might be on the horizon for our niche in the boating industry, there’s no better place to start than at the top. As the only magazine dedicated to covering just the pontoon and deck boat segment, I like to think of Pontoon & Deck Boat magazine as that top resource since we’re constantly interacting with general managers, CEOs, presidents and other company leaders.

We do this not only to educate ourselves, but also to share that information with our readers. However, in this case going to the top for answers is referring to the manufacturers themselves. Recently we reached out to get a little inside perspective on those upcoming trends and here are the highlights of those conversations.
