If You Can Spend 3 Hours Bingeing Netflix, You Can Learn CPR

We’ve all said it:

“I don’t have time to learn first aid.”

But here’s the reality check — most of us do have time.

We just don’t use it for things that could actually save a life.

📺 You Had Time for That 6-Episode Drama…

You’ve stayed up watching an entire series on Netflix.

You’ve spent hours scrolling TikTok or YouTube shorts.

You’ve queued 40 minutes for bubble tea.

None of those are bad things. We all need to unwind.

But what happens when someone collapses right in front of you?

Can your favourite series teach you how to do CPR?

Will your new gadget tell you how to stop bleeding?

Will your outfit give you the confidence to step up during an emergency?

🕒 First Aid Doesn’t Take Long

Let’s put it into perspective:

• Learning Hands-Only CPR? Less than 30 minutes.

• Basic first aid training? Usually just 1 day.

• Becoming certified and confident? Done in a weekend.

Compare that with how much time we spend watching, scrolling, snacking, or shopping.

Suddenly, “I don’t have time” starts to sound like an excuse.

💔 Emergencies Don’t Wait for Convenience

You won’t get a warning before an emergency.

It can happen:

• On the way to work

• While picking your child up from school

• In a restaurant

• In your own home

And when it does, you can’t hit pause.

You either know what to do, or you don’t.

😶 So Why Do We Keep Delaying?

Because it’s uncomfortable.

Because we think someone else will step in.

Because we underestimate how fast things can go wrong.

Because Netflix gives us instant reward — while first aid gives us long-term preparedness.

But one matters more than the other.

One gives you power when everyone else is panicking.

🧠 It’s Not About Time — It’s About Priorities

We choose what to spend our time on.

• 3 hours of Netflix = zero skills, temporary fun.

• 3 hours of first aid = confidence, courage, and maybe… a life saved.

Which one will you remember 5 years from now?

💪 Be the One Who Knows What to Do

If someone collapsed beside you, would you:

A) Freeze and panic

B) Wait for someone else

C) Take charge, perform CPR, and give them a chance

You can be the person who chooses C.

But it starts with one small decision today.

📣 Final Thoughts

We’re not saying give up your Netflix.

We’re saying — give a bit of that time to learn something that matters.

You don’t need to be a doctor.

You just need to care enough to act.

Because the person who needs CPR one day…

might be someone you love.
