I issued MEL XX-XX to Maintenance Technician Y; after he had accomplished the MEL maintenance procedures; an MEL placard was placed in the logbook. But I forgot to generate an XX-XXXX; follow-up/repetitive inspection form.  Out of Practice: Have not actually worked a desk since the X type aircraft were parked [several months ago]. Stress: Presently going through personal issues. Provide a review/refresher class for technicians that have been idle during the pandemic. Add a step to the X procedures of all MELs that states to generate an XX-XXXX; and highlight that step.
Lead Technician reported not following published maintenance procedures after being out of practice for an extended period of time.
