Day 5 of being productive over the summer- whilst struggling with overthinking and anxiety:
-Today was filled with anxiety and overthinking
-I feel like a failure
-I had to catch a flight, meaning I was unable to do anything meaningful until I had to leave the house
-I have read 115 pages though!
-Tomorrow is an activity filled day, let's hope I can read some more

day spent trying to make a preliminary literature review happen. nothing went quite as planned- i tipped too much milk into my tea and only read 3 of the materials out of the 5 i’d planned. not beating myself up too much- it’ll happen. ended the day with a lovely walk with some friends and a gorgeous view from tower bridge. also, if anyone knows how to fix that little “sign in” thing in the corner (i’ve already signed in 33817417373 times), help would be much appreciated.

Interesting tidbit from this Wikipedia article in light of today's episode (emphasis mine) :
Much of Newton's writing on alchemy may have been lost in a fire in his laboratory, so the true extent of his work in this area may have been larger than is currently known. Newton also suffered a nervous breakdown during his period of alchemical work.
Newton's writings suggest that one of the main goals of his alchemy may have been the discovery of the philosopher's stone (a material believed to turn base metals into gold), and perhaps to a lesser extent, the discovery of the highly coveted Elixir of Life. Newton reportedly believed that a Diana's Tree, an alchemical demonstration producing a dendritic "growth" of silver from solution, was evidence that metals "possessed a sort of life."
