× Yeah, actually every time I go to a store to buy something or shopping, I make a list.
✓ Yeah, actually every time I go to a store to buy something or shop, I make a list.
The phrase 'or shopping' is incorrect here because after 'to' we need the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. 'Shop' is the correct base form to use after 'to' in this context.
× It's good because I use use my time to because I have some limit times.
✓ It's good because I use my time well since I have limited time.
The original sentence has repeated words ('use use') and awkward phrasing ('to because I have some limit times'). The correction clarifies the meaning and corrects the structure by removing redundancy and using proper expressions.
× I have a busy, busy schedule.
✓ I have a very busy schedule.
Repeating 'busy' is informal and not grammatically correct. Using 'very busy' is a proper way to emphasize the schedule's busyness.
× Yes, I make a list for my work nowadays because I have a busy schedules and I need to organize my time and my work together.
✓ Yes, I make a list for my work nowadays because I have a busy schedule and I need to organize my time and my work together.
The word 'schedules' is plural but should be singular 'schedule' to agree with 'a busy'. 'A' indicates singular, so the noun must be singular.
× So from from the day that I make a list, all of my work going well and I've done all of them good, so it's really good.
✓ So from the day that I make a list, all of my work is going well and I've done all of it well, so it's really good.
The phrase 'all of my work going well' lacks the auxiliary verb 'is'. Also, 'all of them good' is incorrect; 'all of it well' is the proper form. The correction adds the missing verb and adjusts the object and adverb usage.
× I don't know about people, but I think they haven't any time to make a list, or are they afraid to make a list or they're really busy?
✓ I don't know about people, but I think they don't have any time to make a list, or they are afraid to make a list, or they're really busy.
The phrase 'they haven't any time' is incorrect in modern English; 'they don't have any time' is correct. Also, the question form 'are they afraid' is incorrect in this list context; it should be a statement 'they are afraid'.
× But I think many people, they buy things from their instincts.
✓ But I think many people buy things based on their instincts.
The phrase 'many people, they' is redundant; either 'many people' or 'they' should be used, not both. Also, 'from their instincts' is better expressed as 'based on their instincts'.
× So they just buy things that they wanted to do or wanted to buy.
✓ So they just buy things that they want to do or want to buy.
The sentence mixes past tense 'wanted' with present context. Since the sentence is about general behavior, present tense 'want' is appropriate.
× I prefer to make a list on my iPhone because it's easy to bring it everywhere, it's easy to type it, to type the things that I wanted to type the list.
✓ I prefer to make a list on my iPhone because it's easy to bring everywhere, it's easy to type, to type the things that I want to put on the list.
The pronouns 'it' are unnecessary and awkward here. Also, 'wanted' should be present tense 'want' to match the current preference. The phrase 'type the list' is unclear; 'put on the list' is clearer.
× And also it's good because it doesn't delete it.
✓ And also it's good because it doesn't delete the list.
The pronoun 'it' is ambiguous here. Clarifying 'the list' makes the sentence clearer.
