× I usually like to make a list whenever I go to shop.
✓ I usually like to make a list whenever I go shopping.
The verb 'go' is commonly followed by the '-ing' form of another verb to indicate an activity, so 'go shopping' is correct instead of 'go to shop'. This is a common collocation in English.
× and also refrain me from any impulsive buying.
✓ and also prevent me from any impulsive buying.
The verb 'refrain' is reflexive and used with 'from' (e.g., 'refrain from doing something'). It cannot take a direct object like 'me'. The correct verb here is 'prevent' which can take 'me' as an object.
× I use my notes app to categorize the items for chat with whatever I want to buy.
✓ I use my notes app to categorize the items that I want to buy.
The phrase 'for chat with' is incorrect and unclear. The intended meaning is to categorize items that the speaker wants to buy, so 'that I want to buy' is appropriate.
× I tried to make a list for all the task that I have so that I'm able to cover everything that's in my plate without missing everything.
✓ I tried to make a list for all the tasks that I have so that I'm able to cover everything that's on my plate without missing anything.
The word 'task' should be plural 'tasks' because it refers to multiple tasks. Also, the idiom is 'on my plate' not 'in my plate'. 'Missing everything' is incorrect; it should be 'missing anything'.
× But sometimes it happens that due to urgent task appearing I miss one or two towers that are already there in my list.
✓ But sometimes it happens that due to urgent tasks appearing I miss one or two tasks that are already there in my list.
'Urgent task' should be plural 'urgent tasks' because it refers to multiple tasks. Also, 'towers' is likely a mishearing or typo for 'tasks'.
× And the first person to person people like me like to stay organized and have list down their task while other individuals find it time consuming an they might think it's not as effective as it should be and remembering them in their head or making a note in their head is much better for them.
✓ First, people like me like to stay organized and have lists of their tasks, while other individuals find it time-consuming and might think it's not as effective as it should be; they prefer remembering tasks in their head or making a mental note.
The original sentence has multiple issues: 'And the first person to person people' is incorrect and redundant; 'have list down their task' is incorrect, it should be 'have lists of their tasks'; 'an' should be 'and'; run-on sentence needs proper punctuation and conjunctions.
× When it comes to work purpose, I prefer to make a list on my paper so that it's easy for me to sneak lookout it whenever I want to.
✓ When it comes to work purposes, I prefer to make a list on paper so that it's easy for me to sneak a look at it whenever I want to.
'Work purpose' should be plural 'work purposes' or 'for work'; 'on my paper' is better as 'on paper'; 'sneak lookout it' is incorrect, the correct phrase is 'sneak a look at it'.
