I second that, I also got away with not needing those skills until I went back to college as a working mom and had to manage my schedule as well as my 2 dd's busy schedules. I figured it out when it became necessary.
My youngest has very poor organizational and time management skills and it has driven me nuts trying to help her "get them". I am finally coming to understand that until she sees a legitimate real-life reason/need for the skills (i.e "feels the pain"), my attempts to push those skills on her are futile.
I also understand now that these skills can be/are related to Executive Function and a part of the brain which does not finish fully developing until around age 26 so (about the age I was when I first came to need them).
Perhaps more challenging classes would help? I think that would have helped my DD realize a need to develop those skills. I guess as long as you can get by without them, why would you want to practice them?
