""A clean house means an empty life.""
It honestly doesn't. It doesn't take that long and there are times when you've got to let things slip, or might do because of illness etc, but once you are in the habit. Don't over buy, sort out your storage, then it never gets that bad. It depends on your circumstances and energy levels, as well, of course.
OP, I think these things are useful to just take what you can personally use and manage. It depends on how your children sleep etc.
I do the same with Marie Condo (ConMari). I don't follow it exactly because it doesn't suit me.
I had two children with additional needs and it was best for them for the house to be minimal, clean and organised, except for their toy storage, they were both into collecting.
Now they are Adults, but I have indoor Rabbits, so it's best if my house is minimal, except for the bunny playground that I set up.
But if your toddler doesn't sleep, which is when a lot of Parents clean, or some of it isn't worth doing because of Pets etc, then just take what is useful and ignore the rest.
As you would on nutrition, skin care, hobbies etc.
