× I make to do lists every morning.
✓ I make to-do lists every morning.
The phrase 'to do lists' should be hyphenated as 'to-do lists' to correctly form a compound noun. This is a common convention in English to link words that function together as a single concept.
× Making list is not for everybody.
✓ Making lists is not for everybody.
The noun 'list' should be plural 'lists' because the sentence refers to the general activity of making multiple lists, not just one. Using the plural form correctly matches the intended meaning.
× If I'm at home all day I will probably make a list on the paper, but most of the time I'm outside so I need to plan on something.
✓ If I'm at home all day I will probably make a list on paper, but most of the time I'm outside so I need to plan on something.
The phrase 'on the paper' is incorrect because 'paper' here refers to the material in general, not a specific piece. Therefore, the definite article 'the' should be omitted to correctly express the idea.
