I'm Chirag Singhal — a software engineer who has spent years working remotely and taking on freelance projects. Off-Grid is where I write down what actually works when your office is wherever your laptop is.
What gets posted here
Five desks: Focus (the room and the habits that protect deep work), Clients (finding, pitching, and keeping them), Async (communication and process across time zones), Money (rates, invoicing, and getting paid), and Life (boundaries and not burning out). The common thread: things I've actually tried, not repackaged advice.
Why "Off-Grid"
Remote work sounds like freedom and often turns into being reachable everywhere, always. This log is about the opposite — building a way of working where the work travels but you get to close the door, log off, and be unreachable on purpose.
It's part of the oriz family of sites: useful, free, and quiet. No newsletters you didn't ask for. No popups. No paid tier.
