It’s been a while!
I’ve wanted to get back to blogging for many months but, with long work weeks, it hasn’t been easy. But! I now have a very simple way to show you what I’ve been upto in New York (and beyond) for the past year.
Between February 2015 and February 2016, I recorded a second of video every day. I’ve put all those seconds together to make a video. Take a look!
While I feel that I’ve spent the past 9 months in an office, the video reminds me that I actually squeezed in plenty of adventures.
I witnessed friends tie the knot in places like Virginia, Indiana, Vermont and Scotland; ate a lot of pastries in Paris; saw the autumn leaves in Upstate New York; walked along the beach during a “work trip” in Los Angeles; and welcomed in 2016 at a warehouse party in Amsterdam.
There were other personal highlights too, from starting a new job and gaining a brother-in-law in July to getting engaged at the top of a mountain in September.
Less surprisingly, the video shows that I drank a lot of coffee and took a lot of videos of my dog.
You should give it a go too! I used an app, 1SE. Check it out here.
Missed my daily blog, loved the video x
Thank you — I’m sad I didn’t catch you in any of the 1 seconds! I guess that means it’s time for a visit…
Love it makes me think I need to do something like this myself
Do it! It’s such a good reminder of all the things (whether fun or mundane…) that I did over the past year.
This is amazing. I wanted to do something like that for ages but whenever I start I’ll forget about it on the third day 🙁
I gonna download the app now, maybe it’ll make it easier for me!?
Yes do it! It’s really user friendly and if you allow notifications, the app reminds you to record your one second every day — so hopefully that’ll help? My only warning is that the app takes up a lot of space on your phone!
Brilliant, good to see you back…
🙂
OMG, you got engaged!!!! That’s absolutely the best news, so happy for you two! xo!
I love this second a day video! Perfect way to measure a year (answer to the Seasons of Love, Rent question!) CONGRATS ON GETTING ENGAGED! so exciting. You guys always look so happy in every picture I’ve seen! Are you continuing to film a second a day?
For 5 years now, I ve been recording 1 second every day, so I ll never forget another day ever again. This project has had such a profoundly positive impact on my life, that I ve passionately developed an App that will make it extraordinarily easy for anyone to do this too.
