Should I Get Rid Of The Urge To Go To Do Stuff, Before I Try Actual Meditative Technics?

[Parki]

I want to start meditating, but I don't, because I am pretty depressed, so if I start and will not getting any results soon, I will probably drop meditating.

The point is that if I will drop, I defenitelly would not drop it forever, which means that after awhile I will start to install the habit again, which will be harder, because I fail to do that before.

So I decided to start meditate, but in fact I am not going to try any meditative technics, even "Do nothing" technique.
I will just sit for 1 hour every day until I get rid of the urge to go to do stuff.
And when I get there I will think about some meditative technique to use.

Is the plan "Get rid of the urge first/try to meditate then" is a good idea?

When depressed, be depressed. Simply be depressed. Don′t get depressed about your depression. When depressed, simply be depressed. Don′t fight it, don′t create any diversion, don′t force it to go. Just allow it to happen; it will go by itself. Life is a flux; nothing remains the same. You are not needed; the river moves by itself, you don′t have to push it. If you are trying to push it, you are simply foolish. The river flows by itself. Allow it to flow.
When depression is there, allow it to be. Don′t get depressed about it. If you want to remove it sooner, you will get depressed. If you fight it, you will create a secondary depression that is dangerous.

If you get depressed, be happy that you are depressed and allow the depression to be. Then suddenly the depression will disappear and there will be a breakthrough. No clouds will be there and the sky will be clear. For a single moment, heaven opens for you. If you are not depressed about your depression you can contact, you can commune, you can enter this heavenly gate. And once you know it, you have learned one of the ultimate laws of life: that life uses the opposite as a teacher, as a back-ground.

I thing the best thing for you will be to start meditate for 20 min per day, I feel that 1 hour of meditation is too much to start and it will discourage you. Its better slowly and after a month or two when you feel that youre comfortable to do it for longer then go ahead, Meditation is not as easy that it seems in fact  Ive been meditating for a year now and its just recently that I decided to up the time to 30 min.

No worries, I did two sessions already and I am fine with it.
You might say "Well, two sessions is to little to say that. Try this 50 days straight and let't see what tune you sing".
So instead of starting with 20 min and growing it up, I started with 1 hour and if it will be to much for me, I just set to 30 min or something like this.
