I’m a sucker for creativity. A sucker for documenting life and being reflective. Timm is one of those people. He is the Casey Niestat of TikTok. Let’s call them vlogs that just capture a typical day in his 40s. Sure Timm is not a typical dude. The dude is driven. The dude has a big role in a company where he oversees about 200 peeps. A busy father to a driven wife. But he has perfected the art of making a “mostly-everyday” vlog on TikTok. He documents using his phone and edits his craft. The dude has it dialled down. Hey… he cheats. He uses older footage when talking about his morning routines and uses other edited sequences when doing the voiceover on the day. Fuck me… watch some of them and appreciate the little things he notices and documents… and throw in more personal behind-the-scenes knowledge in the voiceover.
The edit is crisp and flowing. Fast like our minds to keep us engaged. I remember when 150k followed Timm. Now it’s close to 900k following the daddy we wish we had.
I made a video (below) about making the playlist and also about Timm’s editing style for his TikTok Vlogs. I want to make some. I also asked my friend Cara to make some too (since she lives life on the “cool”)
I know not everyone is on TikTok. He has playlists inside his TikTok which is worth a scroll through this “Book Of Appreciation”. His “Introductions”. His playlist about his wife “Kelly” and his “Perspective.
Timm is on TikTok here. This past month has seen an increase in Timm’s style of daily vlogs by regular folk like me and Cara. So I asked the grasshopper to study him and make one. She said she would and wanted me to make one. I don’t live a fun life like her… but I told her I would.
This playlist is inspired by this creative man. Two songs you see so much in his TikTok vlogs are “Sunday by HNNY” and “Mother’s Love by Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou” which you will find in this wonderful playlist.
Timm went to school in Toronto. Comes back every year with dinner with his old friends. Lives in NYC.
Timm’s personal website is here.
Don’t forget to check out his resources tab on his website with helpful stuff about trying to work in a big office or do well in that office.
Let’s get to the music below…
Before we start and I get long-winded in my sentence typing… this playlist was created to store some of my “worldly” music that doesn’t fit in some of my playlists. I wanted a light and fun playlist for the “chillout” + “Sunday vibing” + relaxing + laptop playing + dreaming about travelling + dinner-making and couch time. Hell, you can throw this on with people around…
