Filming every single day has some useful benefits that come along with it. Firstly, you get the chance to become familiar with your equipment. You avoid having to relearn what you already know because you exercise that knowledge every single day. It just becomes second nature. Second, we improve upon our skills again, because you're always practicing and learning and honing your talent. Next, you learn to try new things. Let's be honest, when you do the same thing over and over, it gets dull. Practicing every single day encourages you to try new and exciting things. Next, you learn what you're good at and what you need to improve the most. If one technique routinely turns out poorly, you learn that 'Hey, I'm not the greatest at this' and find other ways to do the same thing, only better. Next, filming becomes a second-nature habit. It's a task that you can learn to do without thinking, and you can capture moments and tell stories with video. Lastly, you seek out new and exciting things to film for the same reason you learn and try new techniques. Because shooting the same thing over and over gets dull.
Now, that's not to say that each and every film has to be a full-scale production or a formal shoot. A small hand-held video camera should do nicely.
I thought that, while the article had some good advise, the suggestions were often easier said than done. Sometimes people are busy and can't always film on a daily basis and sometimes there is simply nothing interesting to film.
If the person is willing/able to film on a regular basis, then they definitely should.
Practice makes perfect and if you're able to do this, then all the more power to you.
