A college transition without an adult tracking sheet

My son is sorting out his own college routines, and I keep trying to make a checklist for him. He says he has it handled and asks for help when he needs it. I want to remain useful without managing every deadline. How have parents decided which practical tasks to let go of first?

I only remind mine about things that affect the whole household, like travel dates.

  That is a good dividing line.

Let the student own the calendar, even if the layout is not one you would choose.
