× Yes, I usually make a list when I shop because it helps me, uh, save my time and and don't miss anything.
✓ Yes, I usually make a list when I shop because it helps me, uh, save time and not miss anything.
The phrase 'save my time' is incorrect because 'time' in this context is uncountable and does not require a possessive pronoun. Also, 'and don't miss anything' lacks a subject and should be rephrased to 'and not miss anything' to maintain parallel structure.
× And whenever I forget to uh, create a list, most of the time, umm, I should go to grocery.
✓ And whenever I forget to, uh, create a list, most of the time, umm, I have to go to the grocery store.
The modal verb 'should' is incorrectly used here; 'have to' better expresses obligation. Also, 'go to grocery' is missing the article 'the' and the noun 'store' to be grammatically correct.
× Every day I have A to do list, especially when I work in genetic lab and we have different experiments for each test.
✓ Every day I have a to-do list, especially when I work in a genetic lab and we have different experiments for each test.
The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a'. 'Genetic lab' requires the article 'a' before it. Also, 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list' as it is a compound noun.
× Uh, maybe they're busy to make a list, or maybe they have a strong, uh, may have a strong memory to, uh, to stay everything in their mind, to keep everything in their mind.
✓ Uh, maybe they're too busy to make a list, or maybe they have a strong, uh, may have a strong memory to, uh, keep everything in their mind.
The phrase 'busy to make' is incorrect; it should be 'too busy to make'. Also, 'stay everything in their mind' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'keep' when referring to retaining information in the mind.
× It depends on the situation in the lab, because we work with chemical, usually we are not allowed to use our phones and usually I, umm, write my notes uh, down on the sticky notes and just stick it to different place in front of myself.
✓ It depends on the situation in the lab, because we work with chemicals, usually we are not allowed to use our phones and usually I, umm, write my notes, uh, down on sticky notes and just stick them to different places in front of me.
'Chemical' should be plural 'chemicals' as it refers to substances in general. 'Sticky notes' is plural and does not need 'the'. 'Stick it to different place' is incorrect; it should be 'stick them to different places'. Also, 'in front of myself' is incorrect; the correct reflexive pronoun is 'me' here.
