× So making a list helps me to memorize everything.
✓ So making a list helps me memorize everything.
The verb 'helps' is followed by the base form of the verb without 'to'. Using 'to memorize' after 'helps' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'helps me memorize'. This is a common pattern in English where 'help' can be followed by either the base verb or 'to' plus the verb, but in this context, the base verb is preferred.
× I make a list when I go for shop as it ensures me that I don't forget anything important.
✓ I make a list when I go shopping as it ensures that I don't forget anything important.
The phrase 'go for shop' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'go shopping'. Also, 'ensures me that' is incorrect; 'ensures that' is the correct form. The verb 'ensure' does not take an indirect object like 'me' in this context.
× But yes, uh, I would definitely try to do it in the future as when my work will be unmanageable.
✓ But yes, uh, I would definitely try to do it in the future when my work becomes unmanageable.
In English, the word 'when' in time clauses is followed by the present tense, not the future tense. Therefore, 'when my work will be unmanageable' should be 'when my work becomes unmanageable'. Also, 'as when' is redundant; 'when' alone suffices.

The word 'individuals' is plural, so 'most of the individuals' can be simplified to 'most individuals'. 'Make list' should be 'make lists' because 'list' is countable and plural is needed here. 'There's some people' is incorrect; it should be 'there are some people' because 'people' is plural. Also, 'hard working' should be one word 'hardworking'.
× Due to the advancement of technology, it is easy to make list on the mobile phone as compared to using paper.
✓ Due to the advancement of technology, it is easy to make lists on the mobile phone as compared to using paper.
