× I prefer making a list because of not missing out the items.
✓ I prefer making a list so as not to miss out on the items.
The phrase 'because of not missing out the items' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'so as not to miss out on the items' because 'miss out' requires the preposition 'on' and the infinitive form 'to miss' is needed here.
× My To Do List really helps me with time management skills.
✓ My To Do List really helps me with my time management skills.
The phrase 'helps me with time management skills' is incomplete without a possessive pronoun. Adding 'my' clarifies that the skills belong to the speaker.
× Some people might not like making lists because they might think that making lists or to do lists are a complete time waste and they think they are not confident about themselves that they won't end up doing the things that they have written but doing so.
✓ Some people might not like making lists because they might think that making lists or to-do lists is a complete waste of time and they are not confident that they will end up doing the things they have written down.
The subject 'making lists or to-do lists' is singular as a combined concept, so the verb should be 'is' not 'are'. Also, 'time waste' should be 'waste of time'. The sentence is also rephrased for clarity and correctness.
× these apps remind me to the work that I have to do along with the notification so it is more effective.
✓ these apps remind me of the work that I have to do along with notifications, so it is more effective.
The verb 'remind' is followed by the preposition 'of', not 'to'. Also, 'notification' should be plural 'notifications' to match the context.
× Priorly when I was in class 10 and 12 I used to make my To Do List on paper but as now I have my phone which has updated version apps so these apps remind me to the work that I have to do along with the notification so it is more effective.
✓ Previously, when I was in class 10 and 12, I used to make my To Do List on paper, but now I have my phone which has updated apps, so these apps remind me of the work I have to do along with notifications, making it more effective.
The adverb 'Priorly' is incorrect; 'Previously' is the correct form. Also, the sentence is long and needs commas for clarity. 'Updated version apps' is better as 'updated apps'. The sentence is restructured for better flow and grammar.
