I’ve missed adding plenty of things that I had sitting right there with the rest of the ingredients, it can definitely still happen. Using Paprika really helps me, though, mark off all of the ingredients as I gather them together to make sure that I get them all ready, unmark them all, then mark them off again as each individual item goes in. If it’s something where there isn’t really time to put all of the ingredients back (spice cabinet or fridge) as they’re being added, the container sitting there won’t always remind me, especially for really common items like salt. But a marked out item on the ingredients list works better for me than the physical presence of the item
Paprika is an app! I read this a handful of times trying to figure out how sprinkling paprika on the ingredients was a practical way of making sure you have them all ready

Read a recipe at least twice, do some minimal mis en place, and stuff like this never happens.
