Human Factors
My D-side had reminded me about a pending confliction that I needed to resolve which I had put off. I was a little annoyed with myself and as such my resolution was perhaps a bit more aggressive than needed. Headings were issued to both aircraft and it worked out fine. I had intended to have Aircraft X on course before he neared the adjacent sector boundary but I didn't check on it quite soon enough. I remember thinking that it would work out fine but I was apparently slightly off in my estimation and the aircraft got within 2.5 miles of the adjacent sector boundary - without actually crossing the boundary - without a pointout; which my D-side also failed to notice.I never did notice the event; Management informed me later as they'd coincidentally been monitoring the sector.I had perhaps gotten a little complacent from the routine and experience. I'll be extra sure to follow up on any headings issued so as to ensure the aircraft involved perform as expected; and to be more vigilant in protecting my airspace boundaries.
