For keep track of my depression, how were you planning on tracking it? It doesn't immediately offer a concrete way of making progress on it - are you writing it down during low moments, is it just X'ing out days of really bad bouts on a calendar so you can see an overall pattern? I had something similar for my list (be less negative/pessimistic) until I thought about this - I chose to mesh it together with a "being grateful" goal (which I see you have on your list as well!), and now I list 5 Great Things for each week. Even if they were horrible weeks, 5 great things must be identified. Oddly, it's helped (me).
