[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to figure out what is normal at this age versus what is enabling. On the one hand, she has a job and generally does well once she gets there. But it feels like I’m still managing much of the process of getting her out the door every day.

How can this become easier for her?[/quote]
OP to the people saying she might have ADHD, it's not like people with an ADHD diagnosis have a silver bullet for this.  It's all about becoming more self-aware and putting systems in place.  Is she aware?  Does she realize she can start taking responsibility for these?

-having a place for things - shoes and keys, building the habit
-what to do the night before - finishing laundry, setting out clothes
-bedtime - what's stopping her from going to sleep earlier, and how to overcome it
-alarm clocks - having enough alarms, where to put them in her room, knowing when to stop hitting snooze
-toiletry routines - checklists if she forgets, or breaking it up (shower at night)
-keeping track of time - knowing how long things take, knowing what time she needs to walk out the door
