Our lives move forward
at incredible speed. We are surrounded by thousand pieces of information
from a variety of sources. The question I ask myself every day is what I am
doing with my life. I believe it is vital to stop for a moment and consider my
goals in life and whether I am going to find a way to achieve them. All of us
are aware that our lives pass more quickly than we would want to and it might be worth remembering at least one moment of
each day before we completely forget it.
I have mixed feelings
about this video.
1. I’m interested in
what you think about that way to remember and if
you appreciate the past day enough.
2. Would you use such a way to document and
remember your life?

In my opinion it's a great way to remember all the past days. It's some kind of a modern diary which I used to write when I was younger.
To be honest I will never use such way to document my life because I'm sure I would keep on forgetting to document that one second, then my progress would not make any sense with such empty spaces in it.
I guess I would try this, maybe not for a year but for a couples month for sure.
I was thinking about documenting my life as well but I'd probably use some ancient form called diary ;) It has a problem, though - it requires much more time than the method shown here.
Thanks to recording of just one second of our life, we can concentrate on the most important things and stimulate ourselves to achieve things that really matter.
But, to be honest, I don't think I will spend my free time on something like that :)
I've never thought about such a way of remembering every single day of my life. My first thought was "Okay, nice, but most of the time I do nothing interesting. I go to work, to school, sometimes I go out". But then I thought that life will never be composed of super interesting moments only and that doesn't mean it's boring or not worth remembering. I was surprised when on his video I saw everyday-life moments as well, not only the extraordinary ones. But there is one thing I'm wondering about - how can you know this one second will be exactly the one worth remembering? How can you know something more interesting won't happen later? That would be my biggest problem creating such a video. However I don't think I will start recording my memories this way.
Maybe some of you know if there is an app which records constant amount of time and catalogs videos ?
It may be kind of helping you to discover yourself. More time and more effort but better result. Good luck! ;)
This talk quite resonated with me because same as Cesar I sometimes have difficulty remembering things from the past, certain events, situations. That's because the time passes so fast when there are so many things to do daily there is no time to slow down and cherish the moment. I regret it but that's a consequence of dealing with too much in too little span of time. Oh, and I've hardly used the app to record a second, I would always forget about it ;) nevertheless I like the idea.
Personally I would make something like this not for memorizing what I`ve been doing each day, but just to look if I am better today them myself yesterday.
On the other hand, I personally hate people recording concerts with their smartphones and not watching the band on the stage. Other thing is make a photo or a movie outside the main stage area with the band that played. So for me it would be a hard thing to do daily.
What about questions asked above, i would say, that i won't do it,not because i'm thinking in that way, but it must be a habit, you can't do it everyday, when it is not a habit or daily routine action or reminder on your phone. It's a good idea to implement, but not everybody will estimate it. I prefer to record such as breathtaking moments in your life and not only big event like concerts,travelling trips, but also happy birthdays, interesting meetings and other staff can be a part of our amazing life
Would you use such a way to document and remember your life? I don't know, but why not to try, in 2017 we have plenty of apps that will help you to document your life in different ways .
I would not use such method only because of my phone and the fact that often enough i don't have it with me or its broken or just simply battery in it died. If i were of choosing similar way i would write one sentence down, one full sentence to memorize a day. Would it have same effect probably but what concerns me the most is how would i choose that sentence just as he struggled to choose that one second i would struggle to write down that one sentence. It would be a great experiment focusing not only on remembering but also on choosing, choosing what to remember, what do i want to remember from this day maybe something that happened, something i thought or saw ?
I think i won't, not becouse i think its not good idea but, becouse i don't like to take photos, shoot films etc. Anyways, nice article. It made me think for a while.
Everyone says "stop and look outside the box, unleash your creativity, think about life etc. etc.", but behind that motivational phrases, there is a note "20.11 - CMS test", "13.11 - prep. materials for management" and here it comes- the mundane "Home-Work/School-Home" scheme we are all taking part in.
If I were to document one second every day, it would probably be in my car, in the office or at home, staring at the monitor. I can't help the fact that I simply don't have time for anything else. It is worth trying, but I think that we can remember the good moments anyway, without the need to recording one seconds everyday.
