× Yes, I make a list when I am going for shopping because it's easy for me to remember the things.
✓ Yes, I make a list when I go shopping because it's easy for me to remember the things.
The phrase 'going for shopping' is incorrect. The correct form is 'go shopping' without 'for'. This is a common collocation in English where 'go' is followed directly by the activity in its -ing form without 'for'.
× Well, I prefer to make a list on the phone because I carry the mobile phone with me at all time on regular basis.
✓ Well, I prefer to make a list on the phone because I carry the mobile phone with me at all times on a regular basis.
The phrase 'at all time' should be 'at all times' to indicate 'always'. Also, 'on regular basis' should be 'on a regular basis' because 'basis' requires an article here.
