You can addTarget to your text fields to monitor for the control event .editingChanged and use a single selector method for all of them:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    doneBarButton.isEnabled = false
    [habitNameField, goalField, frequencyField].forEach({ $0.addTarget(self, action: #selector(editingChanged), for: .editingChanged) })
}

Create the selector method and use guard combined with where clause (Swift 3/4 uses a comma) to make sure all text fields are not empty otherwise just return. Swift 3 does not require @objc, but Swift 4 does:

@objc func editingChanged(_ textField: UITextField) {
    if textField.text?.characters.count == 1 {
        if textField.text?.characters.first == " " {
            textField.text = ""
            return
        }
    }
    guard
        let habit = habitNameField.text, !habit.isEmpty,
        let goal = goalField.text, !goal.isEmpty,
        let frequency = frequencyField.text, !frequency.isEmpty
    else {
        doneBarButton.isEnabled = false
        return
    }
    doneBarButton.isEnabled = true
}
