31、overed that it isnt my problem! In fact, its our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. Its just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now? Got it!”
32、 If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly, it seems that we cant stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe its because
33、 we dont know how to get the rewards without doing it. But thats not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit.

34、you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are.

38、d breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it.
