The competitive engineering prep program I landed in out of high school was a rude awakening, but by the time I was there there was no time to 1) learn how to work and 2) actually do the work. Some of my bad childhood habits are still having an impact on my work, twenty years later.
I manged to hold off on "actually working" until after law school. It was a shock to go from zero productivity to 100% productivity.
I never did get a handle on basic organization or basic time management skills. Someday, perhaps.
Speaking of that, does anyone know why legal assistants never, ever have time to file paperwork?
