This is why it’s valuable to proof read your work. After you write it, come back the next day and see if you still like it or it makes sense.

Not just proof read it, but read every word out loud. You'll pick up mistakes, awkward sentence structure, poor word choices that you never would by reading it silently. Reading alound means you don't skim.
Yes for superficial structure, I might skip things reading silently. However I struggle to think about the meaning of what I read when I read aloud, different focuses maybe. So that's complimentary.
