Hi, I am Edward
I'm a builder and writer currently based in Utah, focused on building sustainable businesses and exploring the intersection of analog living and digital work. My journey has taught me that the most valuable resource we have isn't time, it's attention.
Through my experiments in “unworking”, I'm documenting what happens when we intentionally create space for meaningful work. This isn't about working less, it's about working better, with greater purpose and impact.
I am a big believer in the philosophy of enough. Enough time, enough revenue, enough growth.
My goal is to help you create space for what matter in your life, whether that's work, relationships, or simply finding time for yourself.
I hope more people end up saying, “You know what, I'm glad someone finally said this,” and I hope to read more about your journey in creating space for what matters.
The Journey
My path to understanding the value of intentional work began in the tech industry, where I witnessed firsthand how busyness often masquerades as productivity. After years of building and scaling technology companies, I started questioning the conventional wisdom that more hours equals better results.
This realization led me to explore alternative approaches to work and business building. I began experimenting with different frameworks and methodologies, always with an eye toward sustainability and meaningful impact rather than just growth metrics.
The Philosophy
“Unworking” isn't about doing less work, it's about doing the right work. It's a framework for identifying and eliminating busy work to create space for the work that truly matters. This means:
- Prioritizing attention over activity
- Embracing constraints as creative catalysts
- Building sustainable systems over quick wins
- Valuing quality of output over quantity of hours
The Practice
This website serves as both a laboratory and a journal for my experiments in unworking. Here, I document:
- Real-world applications of unworking principles
- Tools and systems that support sustainable work
- Lessons learned from building businesses with intention
- The intersection of technology and analog practices
Come say hi!
I'm always interested in connecting with others who are exploring similar ideas about work, productivity, and sustainable business building. Whether you're experimenting with your own unworking practices or just curious about the concept, I'd love to hear from you.
