In this late afternoon, we suddenly got disconnected from the Internet, not knowing why. We kept trying for half an hour, but the Internet connection still did not come back. Hence we decided just to leave it, and go for our daily evening activity – going to the park. Sometimes I am actually grateful for having the Internet connection being interrupted, though I am very much relying on the Internet every day, it actually helps me to get something done when there is no Internet connection.
1. Read a book
It is a good time for me to leave my computer aside and pick up the book I am always reading. I always like to keep the habit of reading, though I am still always reading online articles or ebook, I still prefer holding a physical book. Moreover, the reason I bought the book is it’s worth to read and I will surely be learning a lot from it, but I just spend too much time online.
2. Make a plan or review the previous plan
The next moment after I wake up, I just turn on my computer, sitting in front of it and start working here and there. I always know I need to just shut down my computer, take out a pen and paper, and just make a plan. Making a plan helps me get rid of the clutter in my mind, and be more relaxed as I know what to do next. I still plan sometimes, but with my Evernote program. Sometimes I think using a pen and paper makes the planning better.
3. Clean the home or do a housework
I have been constantly doing this everyday even though I am also online everyday, as there is a need for me to keep my home neat and clean, at least at a reasonable condition, though not perfectly. My home is still in a big mess, and I always wish I can just dumb my computer for just one day, and get rid of all the messes in my home. But I am so stuck to my computer, actually the online world, hence I only take 5 to 10 minutes here and there to clean up the mess or do a housework.
4. Play with the kids
Though I am still spending time with my kids as much as I can, I think that is not enough, they want more time from me. Sometimes I wish I do not need to work, and just spend time with my kids, that would be the most ideal case. I am grateful for having the opportunity to quit my office job and take care of my kids at home, hence I still need to work a little bit, in order to bring some income to the family while I am staying at home.
5. Go for a walk
It is always nice to leave everything behind and get near to the nature. It is especially good if we can walk or jog in the park, as the environment is nice, and we get to exercise and be healthy too. I am thankful for having the park just within the walking distance, hence we can go there anytime we want.

LOL. It's funny. People all around the world have the same problem. Internet addiction. We have to remind ourselves to do the same things that we used to do when there was no Internet. :) :D Read and/or listen to music and/or watch a movie. My husband has quote a CD and video collection.
Yes, that is kind of weird and funny, isn't it? I am happy when the Internet is down sometimes if I am not too busy with my work, so I can get more time to do my other stuff. Why not I just go and do them, whether or not the Internet connection is there? I have the choice, I should be able to choose what I want to do! But, I always choose to stay with my computer and or juggle among all these things everyday.
That is why when I read the question "Can you live without Internet?", my answer is always Yes, there was no Internet when I was young though I would like to have Internet connection always. :P
It is good that your husband has quoted a list of that. I should write down a list of what to do too, though I already got a to do list. Having such list sounds good, and we can just take a time off from our computer. :D
Ooops! TYPO. Meant to say he has “quite a CD and video collection”. It's what he usually does when there is no Internet. :)
It is okay. I just thought you mean he has written down a list of CD and video collection. It is always good for us to have activities other than just going online. Actually there are still work with our computer even without the Internet access, but we are just used to go online nowadays, and forgot other usages with our computer. :D
It looks like a blessing in disguise when there is no internet or no electrical supply. We can focus on other works at home that needs to be done, or can go outside and savor the cool air.
Every time our internet got disconnected, like others do, I go on and do household chores. If I'm done with it, I look for something to cook for snack.
There are lots of things we could do whenever internet is not working. As others do, go for a walk, read books, meet with friends, or have a bonding with family members through watching and playing sports like volleyball or basketball.
If there is no internet connection, I need to call the internet service provider about the issue. Then, I will just a pen and paper to write some compositions and be submitted in LB. At least, I didn't waste my time.
If there is no problem in my internet connection and the power outage is the culprit. I just need to use my generator and work online. I think there are so many things that we can do without internet connection that includes the entries you had mentioned.
When I don't have internet, I usually listen to music in my phone. Sometimes I watch downloaded movies in my laptop. I even watched downloaded videos. I create blog topics. I wash the dishes, I take a bath, pamper myself or I will just sleep. Sometimes i go to my sister's house, visit and take care of my nephew.
For sure if the internet come back I will be very busy so I make the most out of it.
i have to say its really godo helpful ideas but alot can be added like go and cook, i like cooking, visit families, the elders i mean, help those who need help even if they strangers and get in touch with you by doing what you like
