The Philosophy of Permission

CTEP Journey is built on a single, contrarian belief: Your productivity system should make you feel lighter, not heavier.

Why "Permission First"?

Traditional productivity systems (GTD, BASB, Zettelkasten) are often built by engineers for engineers. They emphasize execution, completeness, and optimization.

But for many of us, the problem isn't that we don't know how to organize. It's that we feel guilty for not organizing "enough." We feel behind. We feel like we're failing.

"You're not behind. You've just been solving the wrong problem."

The Four Pillars

• Capture is about the permission to stop consuming.
• Track is about the permission to trust your system.
• Express is about the permission to be imperfect.
• Perspective is about the permission to change your mind.
