Once a week, select a major household appliance, take it apart and put it
back together. Count the parts left over.
Have a fluorescent lamp installed under your coffee table and lie under it to read books.
Raise the doorsteps and lower the top sills on your front and back doors so that you trip over the threshold or hit your head on the sill everytime you pass through.
Decommission your central heating boiler and heat the house with a hot airdryer. When you turn in for the night, remove all your clothes and put them in aplastic bin full of water. When you get up in the morning, retrieve your wet clothes and get dressed!!
Do not forget Battery management. No matter how many amp/hours or how big your inverter is you still need to prioritise use. There are two ways of looking at this.

HIS:Fridge = Cold Beer
Nav systems = Need to make sure we get to next re-vitaling location.
Laptop = Check weather on internet (note might have to set off any way despite weather as beer stocks were low, see Nav systems above)
Hair drier = That is what the wind does.

HERS: Hair drier = I hate having frizzy bad hair days
Laptop = I want to Skype my friends
Nav systems= What does this red button do?
Fridge = "Why do we need a fridge? you promised me that we would be living the dream and eating out in the best marina restaurants around the world
