One thing that helped me massively as a single dad was setting non-negotiables instead of goals.
When life’s busy and you’re juggling work, parenting, and trying to hold your head together - big goals can feel miles away. But a few small non-negotiables each day? That’s where the wins stack up.
For me it’s:
✅ 10k steps a day
✅ Eat 3 proper meals (no skipping then grabbing junk later)
✅ Get outside for at least 10 minutes - no phone, just fresh air and a reset
They seem small, but those basics keep me grounded, patient with my son, and clear-headed for everything else.
What’s one habit or small win that’s made a real difference for you lately? 👇
