I had been journaling since I could write. My mom gave me a little diary with a lock and key and I never quit journaling after that. I have years and years worth of journals since elementary school, I just turned 37 today.

Planning started in middle school because of Chinese school on Sundays. Using a planner is very much a big thing in Asian countries with their cute sanrio brands and what not. Chinese school was smack in the middle of Chinatown in NYC, so my friends and I would pick the cutest planners. I have been using planners ever since, they started out rudimentary, but over the years they've become more streamlined to suit me.

I had several of those journals with the locks and keys as a kid! They were so cute.
