109 Things You Can Do When the Power Goes Out

7 July 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Things to do without electric or internet

If you normally spend much of your day online, you may feel lost if the power or internet goes out.

We had a doozy of a storm last night therefore much of my surrounding area is unplugged. I’m fortunate that my electric is back on, but we still don’t have any internet or TV channels.

I’ve compiled a list of 109 things you can do if you lose power. If you have zero electricity you may not be able to do some of these, but they will work if you’re only missing internet for a while.

  1. Compile a list of things to do if the power goes out
  2. Vacuum
  3. Shampoo your rugs
  4. Take a shower
  5. Give yourself a mani/pedi
  6. Experiment styling your hair a different way
  7. Invite someone over who may have more storm damage that you do
  8. Pick up the telephone and talk to people, the way we used to do it in the olden days
  9. Laundry
  10. Have sex
  11. File – business owners always have receipts and paperwork to scan or file
  12. Update your income/expense spreadsheet
  13. Create a 3-minute video
  14. Write future blog posts so you can schedule them to publish later
  15. Eat
  16. Drink
  17. Be Merry
  18. Go for a walk
  19. Mow the grass
  20. Pick up branches or get the chainsaw out to help yourself or others with downed trees
  21. Wash your car
  22. Get rid of that pile on the counter
  23. Wash windows
  24. Clean the grill
  25. Organize your linen closet
  26. Put away the laundry that’s been sitting in your room for days or weeks
  27. Wipe down floor boards
  28. Wash finger prints from door knobs and light switches
  29. Swap out wax in your Scentsy warmers for new scented candle bars
  30. Throw out old underpants
  31. That bottom drawer on your stove is not for storage, it’s a proving drawer, clean it out
  32. Clean your bathtub
  33. Clean your toilet
  34. Clean the grout between tiles
  35. Go through your closets; purge clothing you haven’t worn in a year.
  36. Continue purging shoes
  37. Purge coats, do you really need that many?
  38. Polish shoes
  39. Return bottles and cans to the store (Michigan has $.10 deposit, so it’s worthwhile to return).
  40. Put Rain-X on your auto windows
  41. Dust your ceiling fans, use pillowcases to catch all the falling dust
  42. Take photos and write up listings for the clothes and shoes you purged to put on eBay or get ready to take to consignment shop
  43. Read a book
  44. Start or pick up writing that book you’ve been meaning to for the last 10 years
  45. Practice a skill such as musical instrument or juggling
  46. Listen to music and dance it out
  47. Meditate
  48. Pray
  49. Take a nap
  50. Clean out your refrigerator
  51. Water and/or transplant your houseplants to bigger containers – or throw out dead ones
  52. Go pick seasonal fruit – at the time of this writing it’s blueberry season
  53. Drive around to see neighborhood storm damage and count your blessings, offer to help
  54. Create postcards to send an update to your customers; upload to local 1-hour photo
  55. Prepare mailing labels & affix postage if you have it
  56. Play a board game
  57. Do a crossword puzzle
  58. Do a jigsaw puzzle

  62. Make no-bake cookies
  63. Do some menu planning for the next week or two
  64. Delete bad pics on computer, phone or hard copies

  98. Hose down garbage cans
  99. Count your blessings, make a list of everything you have to be grateful for
  100. Seriously, why do you still have all those cassette tapes and CDs? Purge all but the super special ones
  101. Clean under your bed
  102. Go for a bike ride
  103. Go sledding (or sliding depending where you’re from) down a snowy hill
  104. Watch a DVD
  105. Go to a movie
  106. Clean toothpaste splatter off the mirror
  107. Initiate contact with someone you feel wronged you – life is too short to carry a grudge
  108. Tell someone you love them
  109. Make a list of all the fabulous things about YOU

I’m sure there are MANY more things you could do, but this ought to keep you busy for a little bit.

Carpe Diem.

ps – Good news! Internet is back (obviously … as evidenced by this post) but the more I unplug, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, I sure do like it!

pss – Shortly after I posted this yesterday the power went out. We had almost 24 hours of darkness. Thank goodness I had a list of things to keep me busy. Now again … as of this writing the power is back on. I think I’ll wait a bit before I go fetch the food I brought over to a friend’s freezer.
