Amura! I struggle with procrastination too. It is a very good thing that you have the longer term goals though...that is something to congratulate yourself on.

I used to know someone who actually had everything written down. Day. Week. Month. Year. It astounded me, but damn did she get things done! Personally, I've always found the very small goals pretty useful (not totally, but it helps). Another just discovered the other day (um... yesterday?(!)) was to force myself to do one tiny thing (get dressed) before turning on computer. Then forcing another small thing (putting in laundry) before allowing myself to visit PC. Etc. Mostly, I find the "start with a little thing", method to provide enough energy to do another little thing, then I can even go so far as to be "off to the races". Especially with cleaning. It does provide a sense of accomplishment, though it doesn't really move me anywhere in terms of longer term goals.

In terms of those, I am envious of your having them. The only thing in that regard for me is art. It's not likely to provide any kind of big legacy, but something that I need to accomplish for my own sense of having truly expressed myself in something tangible.

Depression does make it more of a struggle. No doubt about it. Can you go backwards from where you'd like to be, breaking it down into steps, writing it down even if they aren't something you're quite up to at the moment? Then it can be a guide for when you are feeling up to tackle the earlier steps? Don't know about you, but once I do get on the up side, I can be very impatient wanting everything done yesterday. At that point it can be hard seeing the earlier steps to actually getting there, because all I can see is the end goal. But if it were written down...

Just an idea.
