Ideas incubation

Ideas may be percived as "thoughts at speed". Yet producing ideas too fast when trying to resolve a given problem might be detrimental to innovation because some of the best solutions don’t come "all at once" but after a longer incubation period. Therefore, resisting the temptation to find a solution quickly and instead keep searching for more ideas can lead to more innovative and far-reaching solutions.That is, to avoid premature ideas, better then for ideators to arrive at tentative decisions and then intentionally delay action in favor of additional incubation time. For example, the incubation phase was most important to Le Corbusier's creative process in which the elements of a given problem were let to simmer. That is to say, the architect stored the assigned task in his memory while, during the incubation period, he carried out research and documentation necessary to master the elements of the problem. Only then did the idea emerge, become precise and concrete, as evidenced in his notebooks and tracing-paper sketches. Or, in Le Corbusier's own words; a spontaneous birth (after incubation) of the whole work, all at once, and all of a sudden.
