Pertinence

What is something that you could practice for 1 hour max every day, for an entire year and by the end of the year youโ€™d be an expert in?

Nothing of any consequence. Unless you are a super-mega-genius of Claude Shannon level or so. Thatโ€™s only 365 hours. While the 10,000 hours thing is overblown, Iโ€™d say in many fields you can develop expertise if youโ€™re reasonably smart in 2,000-20,000 hours. Some take even longer than that.

For 99.999999% of people, 365 hours is just not nearly enough to even be a really good amateur at something, much less an expert.
