constantly

Every single moment

Constantly means without stopping or with very frequent repetition.

If something happens constantly, it either never ceases or occurs so often that it feels uninterrupted: The baby was constantly crying.

The word can describe genuine continuity—a heart constantly beats—or serve as hyperbole for mere frequency: She's constantly on her phone.

Constantly often carries a tone of complaint or exasperation when describing repeated behavior.
