Every Hour on the Hour

I’ve been posting my Every Hour on the Hour posts once a month since February (I missed January cause WordPress ate that post, oops) and every month, there’s usually one person that expresses interest in either participating in the next month, or inquires about the idea behind Every Hour on the Hour. I figured that now is as good a time as any to explain and shed some light about the Every Hour on the Hour event!

Every month, I participate in an event called Every Hour on the Hour, hosted by Vegetarian Option. The idea behind it is from the now defunct site My Average Day, where participants have a visual representation of every hour of their day to show what a typical “day in the life” is for them. My visual representation of choice is photos, as seen by all my Every Hour on the Hour posts, but as long as the representation of the hour is a visual, then it’s acceptable.

Ideally, photos are taken each hour from the hour you get out of bed till the hour you go to sleep. However, that’s an incredibly flexible rule (and one that I bend quite often…) as there are always situations during the day where you can’t take a photo, such as in a school or work setting, or you forget to take a photo for an hour, or you’re doing the same thing for several hours in a row! As long as the compilation of visuals at the end of the day depict an accurate representation of how you spent your day, then you’ve completed the Every Hour on the Hour event for that month.

June’s date for Every Hour on the Hour is Thursday, June 11 – so, this Thursday. If you’re interested in participating, why not start this month? ;)

Thanks for the heads up, Manda! I’ll do it again this time around. :)

Hmm, I may do it. I actually have plans for Thursday, so it won’t just be pictures of the computer screen all day, heh.

There will be 2 hours where I’m in an exam, but other than that, I think it will work out!

Ah, you know, I really really want to do it and have meant to. So far I have either forgotten or failed. I still have work on Thursday, but I’ll try again this time!

That’s a really cool idea… I would totally do it if I weren’t going away this week! Maybe at some point when I’m at my job this summer. :)
