[ Toddler & Preschooler ] Open Question : what is the best approach to get my 3yo daughter to listen to me?

I have very active and smart 3,5 year old daughter. I did think after going to the terrible two's things were gonna be different but man I was wrong! she is very smart, loving, sweet, and she just got potty trained at night too. I am just having trouble to get her to obey/listen to us (mom & dad). I have to tell her 20 times every night to go put on her pj's, to pick up her toys, etc. We do not yell at her nor spank her, but if she misbehaves enough she gets sent to her room for 5 mins. I also have a baby boy (7mo) and even though she is very kind and sweet with him she feels jealous too...this could be adding to her behaviour though I have to make clear she has always been a handful. She is very bold, extroverted, loves to talk to everyone at the mall, restaurants, etc. It's almost impossible to keep her quiet (that's no problem though, just want to explain her personality). Any advice? seems like NO or laughing at my requests are her choices rather than listening!
