× I prefer has like using less time to shopping.
✓ I prefer to use less time shopping.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'has like' and 'to shopping'. The verb 'prefer' should be followed by 'to' plus the base verb or the gerund form. Here, 'prefer to use' or 'prefer using' is correct. Also, 'to shopping' is incorrect; it should be 'shopping' as a gerund without 'to'. The corrected sentence uses 'prefer to use less time shopping' which is grammatically correct.
× I can spend more time to do other things, not only.
✓ I can spend more time doing other things, not only that.
The phrase 'spend more time to do' is incorrect; after 'spend time', the verb should be in the gerund form. Also, 'not only' is incomplete and needs to be followed by 'that' or rephrased for clarity. The correction uses 'spend more time doing other things, not only that' to fix the preposition and complete the thought.
× it helps me stay organized and manage my time efficient effectively.
✓ it helps me stay organized and manage my time efficiently and effectively.
The word 'efficient' is an adjective but should be an adverb modifying 'manage'. The correct adverb form is 'efficiently'. Also, 'effectively' is an adverb and is correct. The correction changes 'efficient' to 'efficiently' to properly modify the verb.
× I can complete all my tests on time and avoid forgetting anything important.
✓ I can complete all my tasks on time and avoid forgetting anything important.
The word 'tests' is likely a misuse here; the intended word is probably 'tasks' which fits the context of work and list management. 'Tests' is plural but contextually incorrect. The correction replaces 'tests' with 'tasks' to fit the meaning.
× I think those people don't like making list because they find it too restrictive.
✓ I think those people don't like making lists because they find it too restrictive.
The noun 'list' should be plural 'lists' because it refers to the general activity of making multiple lists. Using the plural form is correct when speaking generally.
× so they prefer to stay flexible rather than follow strict schedule.
✓ so they prefer to stay flexible rather than follow a strict schedule.
The noun 'schedule' is countable and singular here, so it requires an article. The indefinite article 'a' is appropriate before 'strict schedule'. The correction adds 'a' to fix the article usage.
× if something urgent comes up they might feel stressed up about.
✓ if something urgent comes up they might feel stressed about it.
The phrase 'stressed up about' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'stressed about'. Also, the sentence is incomplete without an object after 'about'. Adding 'it' completes the sentence and corrects the preposition usage.
× And I think having the list on my phone means I can always have it with me so I'm less likely.
✓ And I think having the list on my phone means I can always have it with me, so I'm less likely to forget it.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'I'm less likely' which is incomplete. It needs an infinitive verb phrase to complete the meaning, such as 'to forget it'. Adding this completes the sentence and clarifies the conjunction usage.
