Procedure; Human Factors
While performing the flow for the taxi checklist; I forgot to turn on the probe heats. I read the taxi checklist I stated 'Anti-Ice - Set.' The probe heats remained off for the duration of the flight and I didn't notice until we landed and were taxiing in. It was a clear VFR day and we flew at 13;000 feet for our short flight. Luckily; the probe heat was not critical for this flight; but nonetheless it was an unacceptable error.This was my first flight in nearly 3 months. Due to COVID-19 I have taken leave and bid for reserve which has led to the long period of not flying. Because I had not flown in a few months I was rusty on my flows. I felt that my recollection was strong enough; but in reality I should have taken some time to review SOPs.Everyone knows that flying skills and company policies/procedures are highly diminishable. In order to prepare for a flight following a period of inactivity I should have dedicated more time to review my duties. I placed too much confidence in assuming that it would all come back to me as 'second nature.' I pride myself in being highly standardized; but this time I was too lazy to put in the effort to review. My previous hard work and the excellent training programs within company allowed for a mostly successful flight despite being away from the plane for so long; however I know that more is expected of me and I will strive to be better and more professional.
Air carrier First Officer reported forgetting to turn on the probe heat and stated lack of flying was a contributing factor.
