Want to avoid Short-lived plans
I have tried to do many daily routines like working out, drinking tea, reading books and writing journal.
But it is very hard to do them day-by-day.
There is one interesting prove in Korea about this case.
"Jak Sim Sam Il [작심삼일]" , it means that the will doesn't last three days.
I agree that most of my daily routines were not done more than three days.
A book called "Tiny Habit" said, it is necessary to make a minimum goal to avoid short-lived plans.
For example, writing at least one sentence for daily journal and trying to do push-up one time per day.
If my mind has enough to do, it is ok to do more.
But the goal should not change from the minimum.
I hope the quotation helps my daily routines and makes new habits.

Thank you very much about your comments

or "Wanting to avoid short-lived plans" would work
I have tried to do many daily routines like working out, drinking tea, reading books and writing a journal.
Or "writing journals". You can also simply say "journaling"!
But it is very hard to do them day-by-every day.
"day-by-day" usually suggests a kind of progression. "Day-by-day it gets harder to do them", if it is easy at first and becomes harder as time passes. It's not quite right here.
There is one interesting proverb in Korea about this case.
It would be a little more natural to say "an interesting proverb" rather than "one". And stylistically "this case" is a little strange - it *would* be common to say "about cases like these", but "this case" doesn't sound right to me here.
"Jak Sim Sam Il [작심삼일]" , it means that the will doesn't last three days.
No space here.
I agree that most of my daily routines were not done for more than three days.
Slightly more natural.
A book called "Tiny Habit" said, it is necessary to make a minimum goal to avoid short-lived plans.
For example, writing at least one sentence for a daily journal and trying to do a push-up one time per day.
More natural: "trying to do one push-up every day", "trying to do a push-up once per day".
If my mind has enough to doI decide I can, it i's okay to do more.
"okay" usually sounds more okay to me in writing, and if i wanted to write "ok" I would capitalise it: "OK". "ok" is something I would write in a text message. But that's maybe just personal style.
But the goal should not change from the minimum.
I hope the quotation helps me keep my daily routines and makes new habits.
The way you've written this seems to make "the quotation" too... animate, if you know what I mean. Like it's moving around doing things on its own. Rephrasing it so that you're clearly the main subject of these verbs is better.

Forming habits is a very difficult thing indeed. Interesting post, well-written! It made me think of some English words about this that you might be interested in:
"motivation" means wanting to do things. It's easy to do things when you have motivation. Sometimes I am motivated to exercise, but more frequently I am motivated to eat ice-cream :)
"determination" or "discipline" means a willingness to act on your decisions, even when you don't really want to, even when you are not motivated.
Motivation carries you in the first three days of a habit, but eventually a day comes when you don't really want to do it. If you have discipline, you can decide to do it anyway. But forming discipline is the hard part.

Thank you very much!
And your story about motivation and principle is very interesting.
I haven't thought the terms with habit.
With the terms I can describe the prove for my friends :)
