Yes. Same situation as you but a 3 year old. I gave up on the stuff my kid yeets everywhere and focus on dishes/kitchen/vacuuming. Then once every couple weeks I go on a rampage and pick up everything when I can’t take it any longer…

No, I don't struggle, because I feel no compulsion to keep it tidy in the first place :)
I do! But having scheduled company over for dinner and an RPG session once a week has helped me get over the procrastination to do the bare minimum to keep the house presentable.
I don't have kids and live alone in Tokyo. Space is limited so keeping things neat and tidy is a must. Also idk I just can't relax if I know there is still some small housework to be done (dishes, etc.).
If you have two year old I think you can be forgiven for a bit of chaos! Don't stress.
Don’t have a tip from my own life, but I know someone who has them 😊
I can highly recommend minimalmom on YouTube. She makes videos about family minimalism, and I think her info may be very useful.
She is currently running a course on minimalism that explains the concepts of it.
