Cypress tests spring to mind. Continously test all aspects of your application.

Sometimes I step away from the screen and talk out is happening in my head.

Often times my coworkers and I will ask each other for help. Much of the time the person explaining will see the problem as they explain it to the other person. Usually before the other person has a chance to get the full explanation.

If you work with a team, I'm gonna say the fault here is just as much on team management as it is you, for not having review and quality testing processes in place. If this is the case, maybe it's time for you to become the champion for this.

You should have SOME amount of documentation for what requirements different features are supposed to satisfy, even if it's in the form of automated testing code that exercises these requirements. Automated testing is obviously preferrable, whenever feasible, because they're the lowest-effort to perform, and the more effort it takes to test, the more likely you'll be to skip it.

As a more direct answer to the question, use version control to step up your own self-review process. When you're "done" with an implementation, review the diff of every change that you've made, and build yourself dependency trees for the modules you've changed. Use this tree to identify regression testing that you need to perform, I.E. tests to run or perform by hand to ensure that existing functionality hasn't changed.

Doing things right means you're probably gonna spend half of your time on testing or writing testing code, and you might even feel like a lot of your time spent is redundant or wasted. It's not. Producing quality software doesn't mean just being smart enough to write perfect code all the time, it means investing time into BEING redundant on purpose.
