One thing I keep doing every day.
This is the title of the composition task in a test paper.

I don’t think it’s correct to use “keep” and “every day” together. I think the title should be rewritten as follows.
One thing I do every day.
What do you say?
In Chinese when we want to emphasize that we do something every day without exception, we say “坚持(similar to keep)做(do) 某事(something)”. I want to know if there is a way in English to express the similar meaning instead of just saying “do something every day”.
