～ていては: "If one keeps doing X..."

Introduction

We all have those silly little bad habits, right? Stuff we know we should stop doing but... just can't seem to?

This lesson's all about repetitive actions, and the dire consequences they can lead to. Although let me be clear that I think repetitive consumption of pizza is directly correlated with an increase in happiness.
