Maybe having someone go through that exercise with you would help. I know when I was working on depression with my first therapist, it was overwhelming to try to deal with too many things so she had me focus on two things: getting more sleep each day (my choice as perhaps the most important) and building up my support network of friends and family (her choice). I just shuffled all the other stuff off to one side because I could only work on a limited amount of stuff without feeling overwhelmed and giving up.

Good luck.
