I was assigned to work position Flight Attendant (FA) D on the aircraft and completely forgot my exit rows briefing duty the flight. I didn't realize my failure to brief exit row passengers the entire flight. It was during the boarding process of the second flight when I briefed those exit row passengers; that I became aware of what I overlooked on the first flight.I believe upon freshly returning to active duty; after almost an entire year being on extended leave of absence during COVID-19 schedule reductions; led to my lack of attention to flight steps in which years of routines were disrupted. To prevent this event from reoccurring; I need to refresh my memory and utilize my work manual in reviewing duties of each phases of flight.Realized mistake of skipped exit briefing for ZZZ-ZZZ1 flight while initiating exit briefing for the return flight ZZZ1-ZZZ.
Flight Attendant reported after almost an entire year of being on extended leave of absence during COVID-19 schedule reductions; the disruption of routine led the FA to forget the safety briefing for the exit row passengers.
