My wife and I have the same rule. We figure we could have our home in show-home condition, ready for sale, within 30 minutes at almost any given time including garage, storage rooms and yard.
I actually kind of envy the people that don't give a crap, in a way. They can just hang out and have fun while living in a giant mess. Messy places stress me out, though, so we go pretty overboard on keeping our place clean and tidy and it does take a lot of time with two small kids in the house. The clean part we do cheat on, though, with a cleaning lady every two weeks.
