Computer programming. Aside from the market value, it helps me analyze and plan day-to-day tasks. If there are several things I need to do, and they are tangled (one necessitates another, say), I start thinking like I would when programming, breaking the whole mess down into manageable pieces and then stringing them back together into a plan of action.
I expect that other people may have this as a separate skill not related to programming at all.
I think there's something fundamentally eye-opening about programming. Causality really comes out when you can hold the entire state of something in your head.
