How do you check your work/stop making stupid mistakes?

How do you stop making dumb mistakes? I’m about half a year in and while I feel like sometimes I have made a lot of progress, and I know I have, I keep making really boneheaded mistakes here and there. Very basic things, like just putting the wrong logo on the wrong column, the graph colors don’t line up, things like that. “Basic” mistakes but they alter the entire page. How have more experienced people learned to avoid this and what are your mental sense checks/checklists when you’re inspecting your own, or others, work?

It's this simple really. For various tasks (pitch, market update etc.) just list every single mistakes you make and every time you do the task go through and check your list. If you make additional mistakes just add them to the list. Repeat. 

My super star senior associate does this despite likely not needing to do it, so it's just a good habit to have.
