Unfortunately (assuming you love with your partner), this takes relational work as much as actual cleaning work. If one of you lived in a larger house previously or maybe you have food insecurity or maybe you attach sentimental value to things you aren't actually using or maybe you see "getting your kid more things" as valuable to your self-esteem or maybe you're getting things because you plan to do something with it later (and repeat this multiple times), following this advice can be much harder than getting another shelf to put stuff or a robo-vacuum.
This work is still worth doing of course, but sometimes it requires a lot of mental work (dare I say healing) from one or both partners.
I guess my point is that switching to this mindset can be hard; and it might not be up to you.
I do really like this comment; I think it's really valuable when couples get on the same page about this.
