Starting every item of an enumeration with to

Question

I am writing a research and I have to describe a process. To do this I have chosen an enumeration as follows:

1. To include ...

2. To add ...

3. To program ...

4. To write ...

I am not sure about starting each item of the list with the preposition to. I think best practices say that it is the way to do it, but it sounds a bit repetitive for me. Is there a better way to do it?

Answer 1

You might write your enumeration like this, whereby the preposition will apply equally to each word in your list, without the need for repeating it: -

To: -

1. Add ...,
2. Program ...,
3. Write ...,
