If you are writing your own 'to-do' list it doesn't matter how you phrase things as long as you understand it. ) My to -do list usually looks something like Call Fred (meaning I need to phone him) wedding stuff E (meaning I need to buy the card and gift for my friend Emily's wedding, that I am going to this weekend). dry cleaning (meaning go and pick up the stuff from the dry cleaning shop) Check T 7th (check if my boyfriend is available to go and visit my parents on the 7th)

Thank you. I think that is what a person would do normally. Let us change the context and say we are writing for a group of people and say that we are writing do warn them what not to do; so this list will be a not-to-do list. Can you make the following list in point form by eliminating articles and others not considered essential?
List of Don'ts:
Walking in the premises with y

Use action verbs -
Walk
Drop
Talk (or Chew)
Make
Go
(Does your supervisor really care if you chew come? My boss rummages through my draw in search of gum all the time.

These lists (such as found in public buildings) are normally phrased in this way:
Please do not:
Wear slippers on these premises
Drop chewing gum on the street.
chew gum while talking to the supervisor
Make rude comments or gestures
Use a cellular phone in meetings.
Go home without checking out your time card
