Do you make a list when you shop?
수험생
Actually it depends on how many items I want to buy. If I only buy a few things I don't usually make a shopping list, but when I have to buy many items I make a list with check boxes so I can tick things up to not forget anything.

Yes, I usually make a list for my work. For example, when I first arrive at the company, I often create a list of things I should complete that day and order them by priority so that I can finish the most important task first. I find it very useful and helps me stay productive and focused.

× If I only buy a few things I don't usually make a shopping list, but when I have to buy many items I make a list with check boxes so I can tick things up to not forget anything.
✓ If I only buy a few things, I don't usually make a shopping list, but when I have to buy many items I make a list with check boxes so I can tick things off to avoid forgetting anything.
Original uses 'tick things up' which is not idiomatic; the correct phrasal verb is 'tick off' (verb + adverb particle). Also 'to not forget' is less natural than 'to avoid forgetting' or 'so I don't forget'; using 'forgetting' requires the -ing form after 'avoid'. Add comma after introductory clause for clarity.
× For example, when I first arrive at the company, I often create a list of things I should complete that day and order them by priority so that I can finish the most important task first.
✓ For example, when I first arrive at the company, I often create a list of things I should complete that day and order it by priority so that I can finish the most important task first.
The sentence refers to a single 'list', so the pronoun and verb should agree with singular 'list'. Using 'order them' implies multiple lists or items; better is 'order it' (referring to the list) or 'order the items' if referring to list items. Maintain singular agreement to avoid confusion.
× I find it very useful and helps me stay productive and focused.
✓ I find it very useful and it helps me stay productive and focused.
Parallel structure requires two coordinated clauses: 'I find it very useful' and 'it helps me...'. The original omits the subject 'it' before 'helps', creating a fragment or awkward coordination. Adding 'it' fixes sentence structure and clarity.
× I think some people fight making lists unnecessary and a waste of time because they trust their memory ability.
✓ I think some people find making lists unnecessary and a waste of time because they trust their memory.
The verb 'fight' is incorrect in this context; the correct verb is 'find' (meaning consider). Also 'memory ability' is unnatural; native usage is 'memory'. This corrects word choice and noun collocation.
× However, although writing this can take time initially, it becomes a habit over time and can make your work and life much more organized and productive.
✓ However, although writing lists can take time initially, it becomes a habit and can make your work and life much more organized and productive.
The pronoun 'this' is vague; 'writing lists' is clearer and matches context. 'Over time' is redundant with 'initially' and 'becomes a habit'; removing one improves concision. The sentence structure is clarified by specifying the subject.
× I prefer making a list on my phone because I can easily add checkboxes and tables to keep everything neat and well organized.
✓ I prefer making a list on my phone because I can easily add checkboxes and tables to keep everything neat and well-organized.
Hyphenation 'well-organized' as a compound adjective before or after a noun improves correctness. The original is acceptable but hyphenation is more standard. No major grammatical change besides punctuation.
× Moreover, is more convenient and saves time than writing on paper, and I can quickly share this with other people when needed.
✓ Moreover, it is more convenient and saves time than writing on paper, and I can quickly share it with other people when needed.
The clause is missing the subject 'it' before 'is', causing a sentence fragment. Also replace 'this' with 'it' to refer back to 'making a list on my phone' consistently. Maintain subject-verb agreement and clear pronoun reference.
