These 4 minute vlogs are my take on the daily vlog concept.

I knew I wanted to do something slightly different to what I see other vloggers doing here on YouTube. Instead, I thought it might be interesting to take a snap-shot of my day with no edits, no cuts and no re-takes.

But then I thought which part of the day would make the most interesting content?

I couldn't work this bit out so instead I decided to showcase an entire 24 hour period in separate 4 minute vlogs, starting at midnight.

How did I come up with 4 minutes?

Well, 4 goes into 60 15 times, so 15 vlogs at 4 minutes each will make 1 hour. There are 24 hours in a day, so 360 separate 4 minute vlogs will be a 24 hour period of my life.

So for the next 360 days you will see 4 minute snippets of my day and each one will start 4 minutes after the one before it.

Is this um?

Yep.

I am um.

  1. Why do all call centers sound the same press 1 of this press 2 for that ahhhhhh i want to speak to a human not a robot ahhhhh LOL hope you go i sorted.

  2. 20 minutes it too short a time for a successful outcome. You will certainly need to call back in a month or so when the card doesn’t turn up, gets sent to the wrong address or has a typo. And then you will have to deal with more waiting and people who will hang up just when you think you have your issue sorted..

    • We have free medical care here – from the moment the breakage occurred the only cost has been the prescription meds.
