For many people, fighting Depression can be an ongoing thing. It can draw out daily and when it does one can feel helpless and even frustrated. One thing that can help is to create a routine and the best way to do that is to start with little daily tasks and do more and more of them each day. I am sharing some daily tasks that have worked for myself and others. You can start at the top or anywhere in the middle.

Daily Tasks:
