Merry Christmas!
I should write a diary more often to use English.When I study English,I often find some words that I want to use,.or example, I found this phrase "in the long run" today.So,so I should use this phrase in this diary.
Today isO.Kokey. because I realized to use it remembered to do it but I actually think it is painful to have time to think how to use the word or phrase about using a different word or phrase everyday.I believe having good habits is the most important thing to make dream come true.Routine make me activity creates my personality.However,I know that it is also the most difficult thing is to make a new good habit.In the long run,I should concentrate to start on starting the thing this as a habit even if I cannot make a good one find a good word or phrase everyday.

Hi Masato!
Here's some more corretions:
"I found this phrase "in the long run" today." - I suppose that is technically correct but it sounds colloquial (which generally means it is an incorrect usage that has become acceptable!) I think a better way of saying it would be: "I found this phrase today: 'in the long run'".
Also the next sentence seems a little incomplete: "So I should use this phrase in this diary." I think it doesn't need to be a sentence by itself, but should just become part of the previous sentence. However that makes the whole paragraph one big sentence! So it is probably best if you break it up in the middle at the "For example":
"I should write a diary more often to use English. When I study English, I often find some words [that] I want to use. For example, I found this phrase "in the long run" today, so I should use this phrase in this diary."
Much better!
"Today is O.K. because I realized to use it but I actually think it is painful to have time to think how to use the word or phrase." - You used the wrong verb here: I think the word you are after is remembered.
Realised (with a 's' instead of a 'z' - American spelling is repugnant!) means that you have become aware, eg through thinking about something. Remembered means that you did not forget, that you recalled something from your memory . Eg: "He realised that maintaining a list would help him remember to buy everything".
Anyway, if I were to rewrite that whole paragraph I would say:
Today is okay because I remembered to do it but I think it is painful to have time to think about using a different word or phrase everyday.I believe having good habits is the most important thing to make dream come true. Routine works well for someone with my personality. However, I know that it is the hardest thing to make a new good habit. In the long run, I should concentrate on starting this as a habit even if I cannot find a good word or phrase everyday.
I hope that helps! I find that the best way to get into a habit is by doing it the same time every day. I tried to start eating more fruit every day, so I now make sure that I only eat fruit for breakfast. It has certainly worked - if I don't eat enough I go hungry!
Keep up the writing and I'll keep up the correcting!

Hi almostaphd!
Thank you for your correcting!!
I didn't think I could get such a great correction.Therefore I thought it was like a Christmas present.
Absolutely it helped me!Thanks!!

I'm really interested in making habits and what hobbies another people have.That's why I enjoyed your story!But be careful with your health because "Too much" is usually bad.
I found this website in a way that I searched a proverb in Japanese so check this website!
I hope it is interesting for you!
"Too much sunlight or too little sunlight? Ambiguous Japanese and strange mentality of Japanese bureaucrats"

Thanks Masato...
I read that, having just been out in the sun too much yesterday. I fell asleep in a park in the afternoon, which was pleasant, but now I am a trifle burnt!
Did you enjoy that article,almostaphd?
I hope so. :)
I like proverbs since I can learn how to live from elder people.
I believe there are smart ways to get through life.
