Each of these items might take more than 5 minutes each, but doing one of them each day would make a big difference in removing clutter from your area.
  1. Remove all of your scribbled napkins and post-its from around your area & record the info
  2. Grab and test all of your pens, markers, and stick them into an office mug on your desk
  3. Grab a small stack of papers from your Inbox: Eliminate, File, Sign or Scan each piece
  4. Do a quick survey of your office and return borrowed items, or recycle that dead stapler

Your last option?

Go minimalist like Mr. Steve Jobs here, back in the day:

STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982 — “This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” —Steve Jobs
