Declutter your flat surfaces

I love this tip from Aby Garvey at Simplify 101:

Declutter your flat surfaces. Nothing energizes a space like some quick and simple surface decluttering. Clear your flat surfaces by grabbing a timer and an empty container. Set your timer for seven minutes and spend this time filling your container with anything you see that doesn’t belong in the room you are in. When the timer dings, reset it for eight minutes and return the items to the place where they belong.  You might be amazed at what you can accomplish in just 15 minutes!
