Set a time schedule for everything and do not sway from the schedule. If the kids do something past the time they are supposed to then there is consequences. Most of the time it's just taking less time away from something they want to do. That's what I grew up with at my adopted parents house.
I have a white board where I post a morning and after school schedule. The kids stick to it better than I do. My husband was in the Marines for 20 years and he makes damn sure there's a scheduled time for everything, lol.
For starters being a full-time SAHM helps. We have a schedule for nap, schoolwork and bedtime. That's about it. Everything else between we just wing it. It's not always easy to stick to a schedule on the days we have appointments. If I have am appointments we skip jocey's nap time. If nap time is late like at 1pm than she struggles to sleep at night and some nights we end up staying up and outside with the neighbor kids past bed time. She doesn't eat her meals at the same time everyday as Jocey eats like a bird and never finishes meals so I wait till she tells me she's hungry so she'll actually eat.

@lovelily that's funny. My adopted dad is a retired Marine and I'm married to a Marine. Scheduling is in my blood now. Lol.
