There IS a secret to good time: SUBDIVISION.
Whenever you count, SUBDIVIDE. When your metronome is beating quarter notes, hear sixteenth notes in your head (or say them out loud). When you need to place a note in the midst of a complicated rhythm, the only way to be precise is to break the rhythm down into as many small parts as possible.
People that naturally have 'good time' are those that can automatically 'feel' subdivisions in their heads, often without even realizing it. You can develop this internal feel, just by listening to as much rhythmic music (or whatever...anything with a beat) as possible and counting out smaller rhythms in your head.
