Glycogenesis - FORMATION of GLYCOGEN from glucose. (Glyco - glycogen; genesis - creation)
Gluconeogenesis - FORMATION of GLUCOSE from smaller molecules. (Gluco - glucose; genesis - creation)
Glycogenolysis - BREAKDOWN of GLYCOGEN to form glucose. (Glyco - glycogen; lyse - destroy)
Glycolysis - BREAKDOWN of GLUCOSE to form energy and smaller molecules. (Lyse - destroy; it is confusing because it is Gly not Glu, but it's just something you need to memorize!)
Here's a tricky part - Gluconeogenesis reaction pathway is essentially the reverse of glycolysis with a couple of changes. If you think about it, it makes sense, glycolysis breaks down glucose and gluconeogenesis forms glucose.
Good luck!!
