it’s rather similar with work. a lot of more hands-on no-desk jobs involve very little time management at all. your hours are fixed, when you turn up you’re told what to do, your breaks are at set times; you do your job but with very little say in (or pressure to plan well!) the way you go about it. my desk job requires somewhat more thinking about work as opposed to doing work: i can choose preferred working hours provided they add up to a 35-hour week (or now that i’m part time, 14); work will come my way with more or less notice
