Me: I developed a chemistry of lemon gooey butter cookies. It took many attempts but I managed to master the rationale, technique and execution, and today it is my pleasure to show you the result
Them: did you finally decide to just follow the recipe closely this time?

I’m sorry for any psychic damage this may cause but in fairness it’s your fault for being the professor of industrial design that asked the question and a bit my fault for winging it. It’s supposed to be a notebook

Ok here’s a very general template people can build on. Some will use this as a meme template. Others will use it as a template to build careers out of extruding fields from cognitive science. There’s something for everyone!
