× I do like to make list and plan for the things that I will be doing for me.
✓ I do like to make a list and plan for the things that I will be doing for me.
The noun 'list' is countable and singular here, so it requires the indefinite article 'a'. Without 'a', the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Always use 'a' or 'an' before singular countable nouns.
× Making a list help me organize my mind better and I can shop more easily without any hesitations.
✓ Making a list helps me organize my mind better and I can shop more easily without any hesitations.
The subject 'Making a list' is singular, so the verb should be 'helps' (third person singular) to agree with the subject. Using 'help' without 's' causes subject-verb disagreement.
× I generally like to make list for my work because it helps me organize my thoughts and make me work more efficiently and diligently.
✓ I generally like to make lists for my work because it helps me organize my thoughts and make me work more efficiently and diligently.
The noun 'list' should be plural 'lists' because it refers to multiple instances or types of lists made for work. Using singular 'list' without an article is incorrect here.
× For instance, I like to make list of any kind of presentations that I'm doing, which saves me.
✓ For instance, I like to make a list of any kind of presentations that I'm doing, which saves me.
The singular countable noun 'list' requires the article 'a' before it. Omitting the article leads to grammatical error.
× To some people it might be helpful, but to some people it is a bit bothersome.
✓ For some people it might be helpful, but for some people it is a bit bothersome.
The correct preposition to indicate 'for the benefit or opinion of someone' is 'for', not 'to'. Using 'to' here is incorrect.
× You don't generally have much time when you go shopping, so for instance, you can just go for shopping and buying things at any moment.
✓ You don't generally have much time when you go shopping, so for instance, you can just go shopping and buy things at any moment.
The phrase 'go shopping' does not require the preposition 'for'. Also, 'buying' should be in base form 'buy' after 'can' as modal verbs are followed by base verbs.
× For me personally, carrying a paper is a bit troublesome and it is not convenient most of the time.
✓ For me personally, carrying paper is a bit troublesome and it is not convenient most of the time.
The word 'paper' here is uncountable when referring to material, so 'a paper' is incorrect. Removing 'a' makes it correct.
× Having a phone with me is quite convenient and I it is quite portable and I can carry it anywhere and everywhere with me.
✓ Having a phone with me is quite convenient; it is quite portable and I can carry it anywhere and everywhere with me.
The phrase 'and I it is' is incorrect and redundant. It should be split into two clauses with proper punctuation and removal of the extra pronoun 'I'.
× I'd rather make list on my phone than on paper and just lost it.
✓ I'd rather make a list on my phone than on paper and just lose it.
'List' is a singular countable noun and requires the article 'a'. Also, after 'would rather', the verb should be in base form 'lose' not past tense 'lost'.
× So you know, it helps a lot things.
✓ So you know, it helps a lot with things.
The phrase 'helps a lot things' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'helps a lot with things' to indicate assistance regarding things.
