This is what happens when one Fast Brain Friend simply isn’t enough.
Three of our much-loved daily productivity notebooks, together in three different colours.
Inside, you’ll find the same rotating, bite-sized layouts designed to keep things interesting while helping you organise your thoughts, narrow your focus and turn what’s in your head into action.
Because busy brains like options.
This has been our biggest design update to the Fast Brain range ever and we are so excited for it. Here ’s the biggest upgrades you can expect:
Bigger! Was 56 pages - now 64 pages.
The notebook covers are richer colours and a lot more tactile. No longer in a matte laminate finish, but our signature uncoated 300gsm craft card that matches the Hobby Note range.
A TONNE of new layouts (16 actually!) and an improved methodology behind how rotating layouts work.
The introduction of the four focus layout types, tapping in harder to he behavioural science on what kinds of productivity formats work for different days
Inclusion of how-to guidance for every layout
All new bullet journalling section for free drawing
Weekly prep spreads have shifted to the back as an optional layout, instead designing the notebooks to really be driven by the daily focus layouts.

01EVERY NOTEBOOK HAS 33% MORE PAGES
Noticeably chunkier, but still snack-sized.
Page volume has increased to 64 pages in every notebook including the addition of a dot grid section at the back for bullet journalling, brain dumps, and bright ideas.
The notebooks are still slim, undated and thread sewn. They continue to slip perfectly inside all of your folios (just a touch more girth).
02SHE'S NEVER FELT BETTER IN YOUR HANDS
The matte laminate is gone. We wanted to marry up our planner range with the same durable, tactile finish of our Hobby Note range, making sure your entire collection looks and feels like they belong together.
Fast Brain notebooks are now printed in a richer offset colour, both inside and out, all on uncoated 300gsm craft.
03WE'VE MORE THAN DOUBLED THE DAILY LAYOUT OPTIONS AND SORTED THEM INTO MODES FOR YOU
The old edition shuffled the same 7 designs week after week. New Season Fast Brains have 16.
The new layouts can be categorised into Circular, Spine, Buckets or Timeblock - each built for a different kind of day and chosen based on what the behavioural science says actually works when the focus is hard to find.
The new layouts have been built off 5 more years of knowledge in the field of neurodiversity, and road testing from hundreds of thousands of users on how your brain truly interacts with the layouts.
They are incredibly special (and fun).
04THE LAYOUTS HAVE BUILT IN PARALYSIS BREAKERS
Some of the most common feedback from new users was that feeling of paralysis when approaching different layouts for the first time.
So we built small, unobtrusive guidance into every layout to help you push past this moment.
These prompts give more insight into not just how a certain layout can be approached, but what is happening in your brain when you do it (pretty cool right).
Importantly - these sections remain nothing more than helpful ideas. You can still choose to use them in entirely different ways... we secretly love when you do.
05BUILT AROUND YOUR DAYS, NOT YOUR CALENDAR
This might actually be the most important change. Fast Brain notebooks were originally built in a way that felt like they should only last a month at a time. But the reality is that not every day needs to be plotted out.
What we have found is that most people keep a Fast Brain on hand for fuzzy days, and then accompany that with one of our other notebooks for organising their actual calendar.
The increase in density of each notebook plus the shift in how layout modes work has been an ackowledgement of how people are really using the notebooks, and is why it's no longer tied to a month at all.
It's okay if one notebook lasts you months a time.
We also shifted the weekly preparation spreads to the back of the notebook. Daily focus layouts drive the goal of a Fast Brain, but weekly prep remains an option for when your executive functioning just ain't functioning.
FAST BRAIN HAS BEEN PRINTED, SEWN AND SHIPPED OUT OVER 1.5 MILLION TIMES SINCE 2021. THIS NEW SEASON MARKS OUR BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS TO THE METHOD EVER.

HOW IT WORKS
THE FAST BRAIN METHOD
Trying to understand the Fast Brain method? We've simplified the science behind it into the 5 biggest reasons people find Fast Brain such a game changer.
How it's builtOne day in viewOne day to a page, so there is less to feel behind on — and room beside it to park whatever else the day throws at you.Four layout familiesCircular, Spine, Buckets and Time Block. Rotate to whichever one your brain will cooperate with today.A week that starts plannedPriorities, fixed commitments, habits, meals and the shopping, settled before the week starts.
Why that worksBuilt for momentumA new colour every month, and checkboxes and trackers throughout. Small enough to finish, rewarding enough to keep going.Calm by designTactile covers, calm tones, thread binding and quiet pages. Nothing that jangles, and less to look at while you think.

The loyal sidekick
Planner
WHO AM I?
I'm here to make the chaos feel survivable. I'm not trying to turn you into a perfectly organised person. I just want to help you find the missing thought and make the next step feel smaller.
My job is to stand beside the mess, take your side immediately and remind you that the plan changing does not mean you have failed.
I want you to feel like your brain is not the problem. It just needs a friend who knows how to keep up.

DAILY
LAYOUTS
Sixteen layouts, in four families. All four are in every copy of this notebook — turn to whichever one fits the day you are having.
Think of your day as a whole shape, not a vertical to-do list. Circular layouts are low-pressure, generous and visual. Nothing reads as a long, intimidating column, you take the whole day in at a glance.
Turn to it when…
You're overwhelmed and a long to-do list feels like too much.
SpineBreakdown a big task • Structured days • Linear views
One central axis the whole day hangs off. Where circular layouts let you float, spines make you anchor. A structured backbone for days when you need something solid to hold onto and branch from.
Turn to it when…
You need structure and something solid to anchor to.
Empty the swarm onto the page, then sort it into containers. This is the most literal expression of the method: externalise your working memory, then triage.
Turn to it when…
Your head is loud and full, and you need to empty it out.
TimeblockStop over-planning • Simplify time perception
The playful answer to time-blindness. Allocate hours and see clear progress on the page, without it feeling like a rigid corporate planner.
Turn to it when…
The day is packed or time keeps slipping away from you.

Worth the wait. I needed help to set it up, but am loving the way I can keep varied notebooks within the portfolio, and am excited to order some of the new format notebooks just released!
Me & my fast-slow-fast brain are loving my new FRIEND… The notebooks are great quality, so happy to see a way FINALLY to get myself organised, and SO glad I picked the blue folio ( I hesitated for a very long time 🕰️) TBH the multiple planner formats are actually causing minor overwhelm, but they’re just getting the normal (for me) treatment: I see them, I love them, I will use them when I’m ready for them 😬 Then my only problem will be choosing the colours for my next order…
I love the format and creativity of the bundle! I’m definitely the person that always loved the idea of a planner but got bored with it way too quickly. This is a perfect adaptation for me! The only negative was the extra long shipping but honestly worth it!
Great notebooks for language learning. Set out as a logical template. Haven’t seen this anywhere else. One negative, colour not just blue covers.
Still happy with purchase and will buy more
I absolutely LOVE my Writers Kit but unfortunately, the student kit wasn't as user friendly for me and adaptable as I thought it would be so I ended up giving them away. But, again, I do love the ones I purchased from the writer's kit. This particular version just isn't for me.
Running List is what started it all for me! It has truly changed the way my brain is able to organize and prioritize. It was the gateway drug to my full Fast Brain system use for sure!
Product quality is next level, I am so impressed by it. I have been surprised by how versatile the fast brain friend is, working well with different daily priorities.
After writing my first book I've been looking for a good way to track characters and plot stories. The problem is that i prefer to write my stories by hand and wanted a physical journal to track everything. Your journal not only does that but allows for full world building as well. I can't wait to start plotting my next series with it and will absolutely buy similar journals you may have in the future.
I love my notebooks, but one of the highlighters was dried out, and my name was not embossed like it was supposed to be. Would still order from this company again because I love the product so much even with those things going wrong.
The cover colors are gorgeous. Page layouts are wonderfully flexible and fight boredom. I’ve already changed the way I’m using the pages twice while using my first month’s planner and feel zero guilt about it!
Okay, so honestly, i was REALLY excited to get this. I researched a couple other brands with similar items and decided to go with this one… It took what felt like forever to ship (it was about 3 weeks, not including shipping time to the US) and i did not get any customization on my item.
I’m not super stoked about the notebooks that came with it, tbh. I don’t really understand why there are two of the same Fast Brain friends instead of each being different notebooks. Anyway, I got my folio all set up and ready to use and started flipping through the “friends” and they’re not the most easy to understand. Maybe this is just a me thing? I purchased Rituals friend along with this set and it’s by far my least favorite. The Running List friend is nice and somewhat helpful, I’ve used maybe 3-5 pages in the Future Planner friend, but honestly there’s a “list maker” next to each monthly calendar view that seems redundant when i already have the running list friend. it’s nice if you want a quick monthly view, but tbh i’ll probably use my phone’s calendar way more than this.
I wish there were sample pages posted of each friend’s listing, because I definitely would have known some of these were not for me.
Oh also, don’t write on the front covers with pen. IT WILL SMUDGE. Even if you think you’ve waited long enough 😭
Overall, the quality of the folio is nice and once I run out of pages in these friends, I’ll probably just buy blank notebooks to put in it.

Thanks Sophie, I will review your order and get in touch with you x
i swapped out my original bands for these & it looks so cute! plus now with the extra band. my book holds 6 “friends” (notebooks) plus a folder and a zipper pouch, so 8 things total!
Big fan of the Fast Brain planners! I love the varied daily spreads that I can choose based on my mood and how productive (or distracted) I'm feeling that day. The habit tracking at the top of every page is also super useful for an at-a-glance view of whether I'm sticking to my goals or not.
Unfortunately my shipping experience with Creator's Friend was not as positive, as their site states 5-7 business days for shipping and I waited 20 days. I was only sent a shipping notification after I emailed them to follow up, and received no other communication from their team to let me know why my order had been delayed.
That aside, I'd absolutely recommend these planners to other people who struggle with traditional diaries and are looking for something that actually works with their brain.
Ordered a custom folio and I could not have been happier!! I bring mine with me daily and its been helpful in reminding myself to journal atleast once a day. I have four notebooks in it right now that each have its own purpose. Its definitely its own ecosystem now that helps me stay organized
