One Second Every Day Project (2014-Present)

Now in it's seventh year, my project to capture as much as possible of my life is increasingly achieving it's aim. It is fascinating to me how the process of making a second a day video forces me to document even the minutest detail in my life. It forces me to have perspective on things that happen, the time between events can be long and exciting times fleeting, even more so than life at normal speed. Mathematically the second of the day Idea is good as well, as each year turns out to be roughly 6 minutes (6:05 to be precise) and this allows for ambitious future plans. In another few years, I will be 26, and I will have amassed an hour of seconds a day.

Another thing I like about the Second of the day idea, is that it prevents me from unnecessarily sharing everything I do with people on Facebook for example, while I visibly document things that are happening, people understand that they will not see it until the end of the year so I think It makes for suspense.

My aim with sharing my video once a year is to inspire others to do the same, and it is working, to my knowledge 10 people have taken up the project for themselves as a result of watching mine, and this just makes me more excited to watch theirs!
