One small goal that every depressed patient will be benifited from is to build a small daily routine that you can depend on. That is something that we can do daily, so that we feel( that somehow and in someway) that we still are in control some of the time. Build a strong daily routine and you can start your morning with this strong daily routine.
One good routine is to build a small check-list of some of things that you want get done. The success is defined as " you check every item on the check-list". It does not depend on whether you complete the item or not.
Experiment with this , and see if it works for you.
That is a great image- making the slope easier to climb! You have great insight- I know you will be successful. Your strategy of comparmentalizing your goals is a good one.
