Is this in a bedroom? Get some under-the-bed bins to put everything in that isn't plugged into the wall or necessary for the operation of your computer. If it's not in a bedroom, you have space for more storage furniture, I can guarantee it, so get some.
The top shelf can then be used to display choice things or for plants or books, which will look way less cluttered.
Awesome! I'll give it another shot this week.
