Having a goal in life helps us to get outside of our depression.
I know how hard it is for people who are depressed to keep doing the things they like or to get halt in their grow process, and to have so many complications because of emotional issues, having more downs than ups, feeling like things will not work out , etc. In those times planning I found it helps great. Here are some examples of things to plan to help you outgrow your depression. Here are some silly examples on some easy planning.
(A person who is having trouble waiking up cause he seams unmotivated in life ) 1. Find motivation to wake up 2) walk around the house 3 ) take a small walk near my house if possible 4) watch telly 5) conract a friend
It really helps if you make plans according to your situation, lets say that you are having panick attacks, then your plans should be about asking help and finding ways to relax to ground, and to find safe places, and if you can avoid stressful enviroments even better.
Well here I left you an example on how I am trying to plan my life goal, I know is too general, and that is because I havent figure it out yet. When I do figure it out and work more on it, maybe I will post in in another post 
and here is some relaxing classical music if you enjoy this kind of music
