A Howard Theory in its development stage is about a 24-36 hr process, tops.
1. you have an opportunity …. or new idea …
2. you then compare this to your historical, random thought process inside your brain, analyzing how close or how far this from being real and practical ….
3. you then recalibrate the idea to see if it fits or is interesting or simple folly….
4. if it might fit somewhere, you get a pen and paper and write the idea down, draw a picture or schematic – work it a little.
Then apply it through research and brainstorming – this will take additional time.
Then start the process all over again.
