“People often complain about not having enough time, yet they find themselves glued to the IPL for hours on end. That’s 4 hrs/day, 30 days/month – 120 hrs wasted. Imagine the possibilities if those hours were spent learning a new skill. Choose wisely how you invest your time,” Pratap wrote.

Many shared that there is more to life than just being productive.Here’s how Twitter users reacted:“What new skill did you learn not watching the IPL?” asked a Twitter user. “Do you know how much you wasted taking bath every day for the past year? Average human takes 30 mins to take a bath. 30 mins x 365 (assuming you bathe once a day). That’s 7.6 whole days or 182.5 hours. Wasted every year. You could have done so many more productive things while bathing,” joined another. “Let people enjoy it a bit (I don’t watch IPL). Life cannot always be about problems, learning skills blah blah… being happy is the ultimate goal,” added a third. “It’s a subjective thing. Things that are productive for you doesn’t mean it’s productive for others too! What if someone spent the entire day learning a new skill and watched the match at night? Life without joy is the same as skill without motivation to work!’ wrote a fourth.Since being posted on May 30. The share has gathered close to 3.1 lakh views and the numbers are increasing.
