Narrative:
I accepted the hand-off on aircraft X from ZZZ approach and put a pvd (plan view display) on what I thought was ZZZ approach lo's scope. I was very busy working three sectors combined and simply climbed aircraft X on check on. A few minutes later in my hurried scan I noticed that he was in ZZZ approach lows airspace climbing through 110 but the P [position symbol] was still a P not an a [position symbol]. I looked at the P and noticed why. I had put it on sector xy's scope not sector xx's. Just a mistake of being busy and being in an expect things to go as planned and hope for the best mode instead of a calm verify everything and plan for the worst mode. There really isn't a recommendation. While we're in this skeleton crew phase there's nothing that can be done and this is just the way things are day in and day out.
