What is the formula to say "I'm trying to do X regularly"?


I was trying to think of a way to say "I'm trying hard to read a news article
every day" (in the sense that I'm trying to find the time to sit down and pay
attention long enough to read, not necessarily that the material is very
difficult).

What I came up with off the top of my head was an awkward-sounding
construction of `毎日、ニュース記事ひとつを読んで頑張っている`, but that sounds both a little
strange to me, and also like it's difficult for me to read the material. (Of
course, I'm not a native speaker so I can't say 100%...maybe it just sounds
wrong, full stop.) I'm not proficient at reasoning out how grammar works (or
should work) in my head, but as far as I can tell, in the phrase `勉強頑張る` 「勉強」
is a noun, so I was wondering if it wasn't something like `読むの頑張る`, but that
sounds odd and received no Google hits.

I feel like `頑張る` should be used, because it's such a great word, but I could
be wrong.

My searches have turned up vague results and cultural essays.

**Please note!** I am much less interested in translating the phrase I
mentioned above and much more interested in learning how to say things like:

> "I'm working hard at doing X every day."

or

> "I'm really trying to do X regularly."




心掛ける is a good one to learn.

[code]

    毎日Xをするように心掛けている。
    I'm working hard at doing X everyday.
    
[/code]

Also, 努める or 努力する

[code]

    毎日Xをするように努める(努力する)
    
[/code]

If you overly use 頑張る, it sounds strange, especially when you use it for
things like "reading a newspaper". You should use it for something more
"important" like studying for a test or trying to get a job or something.
