1 Second Everyday

A number of years ago I read about the man who had videoed 1s everyday for ten years. While it would be pretty cool to have that, I know my limits, but I have done various shorter durations over the years. I use the 1 Second Everyday App which makes it really easy. I did another round in January and here it is:

Have you ever done a project like this?

  1. Oh, I love this idea! Thanks for the inspiration, I will need to have a look at the app!

    1. It’s fun to do on a limited time, I would not be able to keep it going for years like some people do.

  2. I haven’t done this, but HOW COOL. I should look into this for while we’re in Europe. (I’ve paused this comment to go download the app).

    Thanks for sharing!! And I loved all the cameos from Riley <3

    1. I have used it on a few of our trips.

  3. It’s such a fun thing to do. I tried doing it one year, but I honestly just would forget about it most days. It’s so fun to see you with your warm weather doing warm weather things and eating warm weather foods!

    1. I can imagine it is very cold where you are. I took extra video some days of just everyday things so I could slot it in when I forgot to take some. You might also have noticed that even with that I still had to use some still photos.

  4. This is a really cool project. I so enjoyed watching these little snapshots of your life. I have hours and hours of video of my family – so much of it is at b-ball games in recent years. 😉

    1. I don’t have heaps of video now, but I like to take some of my trips. The problem is that I hardly ever look at it.

  5. I love it!
    Many years back I have tried t but failed miserably. It would be so cool to have that though.
    Maybe I can retry at some point.

    1. Make it a limited project. I also took some extra bits of generic footage some days so I could add it in if I missed a day. I still needed to use photos on a couple of days though because I forgot the video.

  6. Oh the 1second app. I forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder. This is fun. I should do it April when I see my family! 😉

    1. That would be a great time to use the app. What fun!

  7. I did this for a whole year a few years ago, and it was really fun! I keep thinking about trying it again. Maybe a 2027 goal!

    1. Well done on doing a whole year—that is a major commitment.

  8. […] Finish a 1s a day monthly video project – I did one in January […]
