There really is no manual for raising kids and definitely what works for one person may not work for you.
All you can do is make the best decisions possible for you and your family at that time. You will learn and grow from each of those decisions good or bad.
It's okay that you don't pick up those chips on the floor right away, or that there are toys everywhere right now. When things calm down you can deal with those things, or try and make it a game for your kids to help you clean up.
