✓ Yes, actually I have a shopping list in my phone's notes section and I instantly write what comes to my mind at the moment and it helps me a lot not to forget what I want when I'm shopping in the store.
The phrase 'shopping list' requires the indefinite article 'a' because it is a singular countable noun. Also, 'what came to my mind' should be 'what comes to my mind' to maintain present tense consistency. The phrase 'to to not forget' contains a repeated 'to' and incorrect word order; it should be 'not to forget'.

The verb phrase 'what came to my mind' should be in present tense 'what comes to my mind' to match the present context. Also, 'to to not forget' is incorrect; it should be 'not to forget' to maintain correct infinitive form.
× Yes, actually I make a working list and my diary notebook every day.
✓ Yes, actually I make a work list and use my diary notebook every day.
The phrase 'working list' is uncommon; 'work list' is more appropriate. Also, 'my diary notebook' is better expressed as 'use my diary notebook' to clarify the action.

✓ It helps me a lot to prevent wasting time and I know exactly what I should do next.

✓ And it is very beneficial for me to be more organized and efficient.
The sentence refers to a general benefit that is ongoing, so present tense 'is' is more appropriate than past tense 'was'.

✓ On one hand, most people don't make lists because they think they can manage everything in their minds and it's not beneficial to make lists, and on the other hand, some people are just too lazy to make lists every day.
The phrase 'don't making' is incorrect; it should be 'don't make' because 'do' requires the base form of the verb. Also, 'to making' should be 'to make' after 'beneficial' and 'lazy to'. The phrases 'in one hand' and 'in other hand' should be 'on one hand' and 'on the other hand'. Commas are added for clarity.
× Actually it depends on my circumstances at the moment.

A comma after 'Actually' improves sentence clarity. The preposition 'on' is correctly used here.

The phrase 'if I outdoor' is incorrect; it should be 'if I am outdoors' to use the correct verb and noun form. Also, 'I don't have' is fine, but 'I' can be omitted in the second clause for conciseness.
× But other times that I'm studying or I'm at home that I have paper, I prefer to write it down on the paper.
✓ But other times, when I'm studying or at home and have paper, I prefer to write it down on paper.
The phrase 'other times that I'm studying or I'm at home that I have paper' is awkward and incorrect. It should be 'other times, when I'm studying or at home and have paper' for clarity and correct sentence structure. Also, 'on the paper' is better as 'on paper'.
