Why don't some people like making lists?

I think some people think that making a list may make them stressed because it feels like that they have a lot of stuff to do and they may not have that enough time. So they will feel stressed if they know that, but if they just come accomplish them one by one, they will.

× that also makes me umm, buy fewer useless stuff.
✓ that also makes me umm, buy fewer useless things.
The word 'stuff' is uncountable, so 'fewer' should not be used with it. Instead, use 'things' which is countable and fits with 'fewer'. In English, 'fewer' is used with countable nouns, while 'less' is used with uncountable nouns.
× I think A to do list is very important because sometimes you know brains cannot really store so much thing so you have to write them down and then do them 1 by 1.
✓ I think a to-do list is very important because sometimes you know brains cannot really store so many things so you have to write them down and then do them one by one.
'Thing' should be plural 'things' because it refers to multiple items. Also, 'so much' is used with uncountable nouns, but 'things' is countable, so 'so many' is correct. Additionally, '1 by 1' is better expressed as 'one by one' in formal English.
× I think some people think that making a list may make them stressed because it feels like that they have a lot of stuff to do and they may not have that enough time.
✓ I think some people think that making a list may make them stressed because it feels like they have a lot of stuff to do and they may not have enough time.
The phrase 'like that they have' is incorrect; 'like they have' is the correct form. Also, 'that enough time' is incorrect; it should be 'enough time' without 'that'. These corrections improve the naturalness and grammatical correctness of the sentence.

✓ When I was young, I preferred to make a list on paper because I bought a lot of stationery and memos, but nowadays I think lists on my phone are definitely more convenient because they are more accessible and easy to carry.
The verb 'prefer' should be in past tense 'preferred' to match 'When I was young'. 'Stationeries' is incorrect; 'stationery' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. The phrase 'I think are definitely more convenient' is incomplete; specifying 'lists on my phone' and using 'they are' clarifies the subject and verb agreement.
