You're only one person. Make life a little easier.

As a single parent, your life is different from the other working parents around you. With the pressure to perform well at work and no partner to assist with tasks at home, you likely find yourself with many responsibilities but little support. It's a heavy weight to bear.

Doing It All as a Solo Parent helps you to lighten the load. Drawing on the expertise from experts and parents alike, it provides practical tips and advice catered to your unique challenges as a solo parent. Whether you're divorced, widowed, or single by choice, you'll discover how to do it all—without the stress.

You'll learn to: find a childcare arrangement that works for you; establish boundaries on your limited time; set a budget using one income; build a support system of family and friends; carve out time for kids—and yourself; and achieve work/life balance while working multiple jobs.

The HBR Working Parents series with Daisy Dowling, series editor, supports you as you anticipate challenges, learn how to advocate for yourself more effectively, juggle your impossible schedule, and find fulfillment at home and at work. Whether you're up with a newborn or planning the future with your teen, you'll find the practical tips, strategies, and research you need to make working parenthood work for you.
