Effective planning. It’s very easy to say " I’m doing this today and that tomorrow" but how realistic is that? Know how to break something down into its component pieces and be able complete them along a schedule. It’s basically project management, but for everyday stuff. It helps immensely to be able to tackle big projects and recognize that things are progressing even though the project still isn’t done. Hugely helpful for stress management.
Do you have a good resource to read up on that?

Install a well anchored level shelf.
-
Plaster, sand the holes and repaint when you remove the shelf.
Very basic tools, very easy techniques, yet mind blowing how many people don’t know how to do these things.

To be fair, most millennials aren’t and haven’t been homeowners. It took until 2022 for just over half of millennials to become homeowners.
If you have lived in apartments your whole life, you’re most likely disallowed from doing anything of the sort.
When you’re pushing 40 and you finally own a house, and for the first time in you’re life you’re allowed to modify the place you live, this is the first time you’ve had an opportunity to learn and practice such a skill.
I kind of don’t really blame millennials for this one, although it is arguably an important skillset. Most of us haven’t had living situations where we could do this, it’s as simple as that.
I’ve never lived in an apartment where I was able to hang shelves, let alone paint the walls.
This is so absurd to me how can anyone disallow painting and drilling into walls of an apartment, I’m very glad that tenancy laws here basically say that if you rent a place you can do whatever you want with it, as long as reasonably it’s restore-able.
For a lot of the younger folks in the EU if your rental contract tells you you can’t do something it’s probably bullshit. And even if it isn’t at worst you’ll lose your deposit.

Cooking
yes! It saves so much money if you can cook properly and don’t have to rely on expensive restaurants for “fancy” food.
Also: cleaning. I’ve had flatmates who managed to take the same time for cleaning the bathroom or the kitchen and yet it somehow still wasn’t clean.
Programming or scripting; usually Python would be enough to reduce the average repetitive workload of office workers by about 20%.
I’d love to hear about it! Any idea how to get started?
Learning how to say no. Having personal boundaries.
Can I have money?
Yes.
No.
