After finding their way into the hands of more than 1.5 million customers, the Fast Brain Friends have become rather good at helping busy brains make sense of their days.
And this is the whole family.
Every colour, with the same bite-sized, rotating daily layouts designed to keep things interesting while helping you focus, organise your thoughts and get things done.
No choosing favourites required.

THREE WAYS TO
ENJOY YOUR
FAST BRAINS
01 EVERY 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).
02 SHE'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.
03 WE'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).
04 THE 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.
05 BUILT 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.

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.

HOW IT WORKS
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 built
One day in view
One 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 families
Circular, Spine, Buckets and Time Block. Rotate to whichever one your brain will cooperate with today.A week that starts planned
Priorities, fixed commitments, habits, meals and the shopping, settled before the week starts.Why that works
Built for momentum
A new colour every month, and checkboxes and trackers throughout. Small enough to finish, rewarding enough to keep going.Calm by design
Tactile covers, calm tones, thread binding and quiet pages. Nothing that jangles, and less to look at while you think.Image 01

Circular Visual/spatial thinking • Reflection • Low-demand
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.
Spine Breakdown 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.
Buckets Low time-pressure • Clear mental overload • Prioritise
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.
Timeblock Stop 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.

The folio is good quality and pretty
Great notebook
Love all the notebooks
This is the perfect notebook for me. I keep a running list of work tasks on one side and home/life tasks on the other. Carry over the undone tasks week to week and I’m much better at remembering everything. Simple but effective.
Such a pretty color and the instructions to add notebooks were very easy to follow
All items shipped faster than expected and are great quality.
Very useful. Arrived promptly and was well wrapped. Good value
All note books are beautiful. Arrived promptly and were well packaged
Beautiful product. Definitely will order more as gifts.
Great notebook, great quality, I'm very happy with my order :)
I love these nearly more than my children. I’ve used them for 2 and a half years now. I don’t even use the front section (not fussed about that stuff) but I love the different pages (also don’t use them all, I have favourites). The paper feels nice, having them in a folio is perfection, and they store nicely on my bookshelf in a basket when they’re full.
I love using this is conjunction with my Fast Brain Friend - the FBF is my daily and the Running List is my brain dump to be sorted and prioritised. Perfection!
It’s very sweet, thank you. It’s also going to help me know which way is up!
I've always lived for the Storylines Friend, but to feel it in this beautiful new material...I adore it. The new colour is stunning and will be such a treat in my new grimoire! I'm ready for ALL of the fanfiction!
Folio's are always amazing quality and will make perfect gifts for my creative twins to stack all of their books into and keep all of their most treasured work in one place.
Good
Great product!
Amazing!!
Very happy with my order. It’s exactly as I imagined it.
Perfect I love it
I love it!!
I have been using creator's friend products for quite a while. I have so much chunky stuff in my current folio, that when I saw my favourite salty plum was available in threefold I jumped at the chance to get it labelled "THINKING ON PAPER". I am also very interested in seeing how I can use the new layouts in the fast brain friends that I ordered at the same time.
Love it!
My daughter bought me a few different books to use as my planner/diary this year. I quite like the monthly layouts in the Fast Brain Friend, and plan to run with them all next year. This is why I bought the complete set of 12. It will probably take a little to get used to my menu planner at the back rather than the front of the new design. It’s a good learning curve for me.
Love the layout but the paper is quite thin
Beautiful colour schemes. I've tried weekly planners in the past but fail at consistency with them. I'm hopeful that the future planner and running list combo will allow me to plan my schedules as needed, without stressing about missing and wasting weeks here or there.
Been looking at these for so long and finally got them. No regrets. 10/10 👌
Gorgeous colour - even better in real life. The leather feels beautiful and the elastics feel durable too. Love it!
Great quality paper and binding. The layout is perfect for people who love to make to-do list dumps, and the key they’ve included in the front as an example of how to use is really helpful.
Make them stronger, this wasn't mishandled
Fantastic!
Love this non-intimidating layout for my neurodivergent teen
Buying from an Australian site, I was expecting this to be Australian made but it shipped from China.
Refillable Folio in Salty Plum
Store owner replied: Hi Melanie! We do have international fulfilment partners, and when it means a faster delivery for you, your order may be routed to one of them for dispatch. Please know that the business is still based out of our lovely Studio in Townsville ☺️
The folio is so gorgeous and high-quality, I absolutely love it. I'm holding 4 inserts and there's no warping or buckling through tensions on the elastics. An option to add a pen loop or similar might be a nice addition to future versions (apologies if this is an option and I just missed it!) Shipping was reasonably priced and faster than I expected.
I really like the different sections, but admittedly struggled to write in this book. The spacing is quite tight and requires very small and neat handwriting which is not always the case. I wonder if there is a way to eliminate or minimize the empty space that separates the different sections which might allow for slightly taller rows for writing. Otherwise, I love the look and feel of this planner!
ABSOLUTELY OBSESSSSSED!! So soft, colour is RICH, size is perfect. As a journal ecosystem newbie, I appreciate the easy to follow instructions too.
Love that these come as a separate option for personalising. Easy to install too.
Can't live without it!
Sturdy and it stays in place!
