Whenever you do nothing, you waste Your time

Hello.

I am wondering about the following tenses:


every time you do nothing, you waste 3 minutes of your life


—> I think this could work if it was seen as a general rule.


Every time you do nothing you are wasting you time.

—> focuses on the background action.


Any time you try to explain something to my friend I am just wasting my time, she never listens.

I think this is correct.
