In our house, we’ve had some limited (and usually temporary) succuess in combatting this by reducing overall clutter, and insisting that certain places (the top of the washing machine, the space by the steps, etc.) not be used as “staging areas” for stuff that really needs to go somewhere else. I’ve also thought of replacing all our furniture with solid plastic blocks so no cell phones, pens, or remote controls could go down under the cushions.
