Whiteboards
On my spare time, I always think about how to take advantange of my time. Suddenly some ideas pop up into my mind and I write them on my whiteboard.
A few years ago, I put a small whiteboard on my bedroom because anyone used it. In the beginning, I used it as a reminder since I just wrote down some activities that I was going to do. Then, I wrote on them some words or expressions in English that I wanted to get used to. For example, if I found a new word on a book I’d write it down on my whiteboard. In this way, every time that I look at the whiteboard I’d remember it. It worked for some months until I got an app on my smartphone in which I could remind words in a better way. However, I still used it for writing coloquial expressions or just to remind what preposition follows certain word. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough space on my whiteboard for writing down many expressions. Apart from that, my whiteboard was a totally mess because in many cases I was really hurried so I wrote as fast as I could. Since I begin doing so in a word file on my laptop, I thought about what I was going to do with my whiteboard.
Today, I decided to build mind maps on it. Not only for planning my activities but also for my future essays. Besides, I used to do “brainstorming” on a sheet of paper but I hate having many papers on my desk. I prefer to use whiteboard makers and then get rid of what I wrote on them.

You write very naturally and your text flows well. I would suggest revising prepositions because you make a lot of mistakes with them. There are also a few issues with pronouns, eg "I still used it" --> does "it" refer to the whiteboard or the app?
Nice work!

In my spare time, I always think about how to take advantage make the best use (many alternatives) of my time (Style note: we try not to repeat the same word in a sentence twice, as you do here with "time"). Suddenly (I know what you mean, but we don't use suddenly this way exactly. See my suggestions in blue) Whenever I spontaneously/randomly come up with ideas for this, pop up into my mind and I write them on my whiteboard.A few years ago, I put a small whiteboard in my bedroom because anyone used it (do you mean "so no one else could use it"?). In the beginning, I used it for reminders. I just wrote down some activities that I was going to do. Then, I began writing some words or expressions in English that I wanted to become familiar with. For example, if I found a new word in a book, I’d write it down on my whiteboard. In this way, every time that I looked at it, I’d revise the expressions. It worked for a few months until I got an app on my smartphone that helps me remember words in a better way. I still use the whiteboard for writing coloquial expressions, or to remind myself about the prepositions used with certain words. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough space on my whiteboard for writing down many expressions. Furthermore, my whiteboard was a totally mess because in many cases I was in a rush so I wrote as fast as I could. However, now that I've begun doing so (doing what? You have to say, it's unclear) in a word file on my laptop, I thought about what I was going to do with my whiteboard.
Today, I decided to use it to build mind maps for planning my activities and future essays. I usually do such brainstorming on a sheet of paper, but I hate having many documents on my desk. I prefer to use whiteboard markers, and to then get rid of what I wrote with them.
