Hi Julie,<\/p>\n

I’m writing to say thank you for Get it Done When You’re Depressed.<\/em> I went through it really quickly because I was so excited to see myself described so well in a book. Was it written specifically for me? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I wanted to tell you about how I used two of the strategies today.<\/p>\n

– \u00a0It takes longer to worry about something than to do something<\/strong><\/p>\n

– If you have the money to get help- use it<\/strong><\/p>\n

My car has been disgusting for about three months now. I am probably being too harsh, but when your seat has some crushed potato chips just sitting there, things have to change. A few days ago, my 10 year old nephew said, “You need a new car Uncle Cole. This is embarrassing.”<\/p>\n

The weird thing is that I’m a professional and there is no reason my car should look like this. I get so overwhelmed.\u00a0Every time I got in the car I was disgusted with myself.\u00a0 For months- and then I read Get it Done When You’re Depressed.<\/em> I realized I had worried enough and that I have MONEY. What have I been thinking?<\/p>\n

I just got overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do.<\/p>\n

Today I took my darn car to SuperWash.\u00a0 I got it washed and vacuumed and cleaned on the inside. It looks great.<\/p>\n

It took 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

It cost $18<\/p>\n

I am going to remember your tips from now own.\u00a0 I will not let my overwhelmed depressed feelings rule my life.<\/p>\n

Eighteen dollars!!!<\/p>\n

Thank you Julie!<\/p>\n
