Truthfully version control has never really helped me out on anything other than backing up and restoring. I still have to google svn command just to figure out how to go back to previous revisions. I would recommend you just learn how to set it up and learn a few basic commands like checking in and updating and then see if using them in your workflow helps at all. If you work on any collaborative projects you'll probably have to use it, but just the basics. As far as all this talk about good habits, etc. Its all bullshit. Its a tool. If it solves a problem use it, if it doesn't don't sweat it. And when you are eventually forced to use it, just learn a few commands or ask for help. Its really no big deal.
