Welcome back to the "Get Organised with Decluttr Me" podcast! In this episode, I reveal the 16 items that professional organisers avoid buying.

Whether you’re looking to improve your current organising systems or avoid common pitfalls, this episode provides valuable insights to help you create a space that truly works for you.
