Give it a try. Good luck.
Some remarks:
You might want to use a preroll/postroll for branding and establishing the theme. That already eats some ten to twenty seconds.
Next: Don’t underestimate the time you need to address a topic. And never promise something you might not be able to deliver in the future (e.g. „XYZ in 60 seconds“ when in reality your third video is 120 seconds long).
I‘ve edited a bunch of videos for trainers and coaches. Each had a single topic or question being addressed. And really every time the recording was much longer than expected before recording. One minute might be too ambitious if you have to explain your topic and introduce yourself every time. And it might be too short to provide enough value for your viewers to launch the web browser (or YouTube app), switch to your channel and start your newest video (if there is any). The time for getting ready to watch your video might get longer than the actual video itself.
That being said, if you have really „formalistic“ but still useful content (think: weather, stock market ...) or address a clearly defined niche that you‘re providing real value for, it might be a hit. Just try.
Additional suggestions: Record and edit your first five to ten videos before launching the channel. That gives you experience, consistency and confidence. And if you plan to publish videos on a strict schedule, always have two or three unpublished videos ready to be prepared for technical difficulties, a cold, an overfilled calendar or a lack of motivation or editorial ideas.
