Excess cable length is a primary contributor to mess. Using shorter cables where possible simplifies management.

Assess the required length for each connection (e.g., HDMI from device to TV, USB from peripheral to computer).
Purchase cables of the appropriate shorter length instead of using overly long ones.
For power cords, consider using power strips with shorter built-in cords or specific short extension cords if needed.
Having less slack makes bundling and hiding much easier.

N/A - Reduces the amount of cable that needs managing in the first place.
