Narrative:
Sector was busy. A CRJ2 was vectored out for descent. Next sector agreed to take aircraft high and descended to FL190 clear of FL200 traffic. The CRJ2 was then cleared direct harva intersection. Normally traffic on that route is given cross harva at FL190. I meant to tell the CRJ2 to cross harva at FL210 to keep him clear of FL200 traffic but instead told the CRJ2 to cross harva at FL190. Because we give cross harva at FL190 everyday; I obviously meant to say FL210 but fell into the habit of saying the normal restriction. Unusual traffic was also a factor. We don't normally have traffic at FL200 in that area.
