The Fast Brain Friend is a notebook for those of us whose brains can feel like the constant swell of an orchestra, a swarm of bees, or a pinball loose in a machine.
Designed to help narrow your focus, organise your thoughts and move through your tasks one day at a time, it gives you structure when you need it, without expectations.
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.

I can’t stop touching. Soooo velvety ❤️❤️❤️
I was so excited to receive my order! It’s so beautiful!
Absolutely LOVE my grimoire and the journals I bought with it. Such a beautiful touch with the embossing too! Already eyeing off more on the site!
I recently received my copy and haven’t done much work in it. I’m currently working on another project. If you have any tips or ideas to incorporate, I would appreciate hearing from you. It’s really a cool item. I love it.
A little thin but does the job. Happy with it
Again, perfect to sort out my plans for my (future) characters and my writing.
ADHD brain here and think this will be helpful to sort this mess inside my head.
I suck at using calendars for specific years so having the freedom to use it for whatever year I please is exactly what I need.
Haven’t seen anything like this before and I love it to write down all my thoughts on characters I create! And stories I want to write for them.
Love nice blank pages to sketch and the paper quality is excellent.
Exactly the way I wanted it.
Simple and perfect for just jotting down thoughts and feelings. Or scribble and draw something :)
It feels like a really good quality, there’s no smell whatsoever and the colour is exactly as pictured.
The little charm is cute and looks perfect on my new journal!
Such a beautiful set - very excited to use my notebooks
Just a notebook....
I love this friend! So many ways to write about themes and impressions of media. Using it as an alternative to the apps will really help me stay off my phone.
I like the techniques presented in this book, but I think there are too few pages and I'd love if it could be for more than one month.
Just love your products. So delicate colours and lovely designs on your different notebooks. Especially I love the new fast friends ❤️
I really like the Fast Brain Planner. I preferred the orginal version because it had the week laid out at the front. Thats how my brain works. I need to see the whole week before I can plan the days. I'm also finding the daily pages tricky. If I dont like a page, its hard to skip to one I do, because my mind tells me to go to the next page after the last one I used. Thank you.
I’m so excited to be apart of the creators friend fan club! Gorgeous notebooks and portfolio that I can’t wait to fill up. Already planning my next purchase 😍
It is a gift for ma daughter. I Hope she will like it.
Love love love my notebooks
This are perfect. I have been wondering about getting them for a year now and took advantage of the Birthday Sale. I am training for an English Channel swim along side a busy job so being ‘fast brained’ this can be a challenge. I Al looking forward to these notebooks helping me get it all in order and balance. I shared a video on my instagram and tagged you but I no longer have it on my phone.
I love it. Exactly what I was after on a folio to store my little journals
Cheap markers that cost way too much.
Gifted it. Very happy recipient 👍
I’ve been using the old Fast Brains for about 6 months, specifically for keeping track of work. I’m not sure how I feel about the new ones, they will be great for home but not so sure about work. Love the change of the weeks to the end - I don’t use them. And the addition of dotted pages is great.
I am so glad to have found your products. Finally a system that works for me and my AuDHD. Feels like coming home finally. I have been searching for something like this for all my adult life (and I am 61). But I am so glad to have introduced it to my daughter, who have the same diagnoses as me, and since she is 32, she can enjoy the system many more years. Hopefully you will get so much success, that you can open a branch here in Europe. This could help so many people 🩵❤️💜
love the paper and how it fits perfectly everywhere
The pink is gorgeous, especially with the personalised gold embossing!! The leather is smooth and soft to touch. The trifold keeps everything tucked in nice and safe. Added some cute charms and I love it!
Super easy to select and fast delivery. Love these books
I just purchased the weekly dashboard. Looking forward to using it. Love the weekly rituals and use it to reflect on my week which has made my days more intentional. Looking forward to trying a new process and then deciding which is best for me. Great you have both options!!
Love it!
I love the fast brain, I like the way I can organise my thoughts 💭 in different ways. So glad I have found this system.
Beautiful notebooks, and the perfect gift for the "Graduate". These are very special and packaging was beautiful and simple. Thank you.
gooooood
I bought these as back up but you dont really need them, what comes in your folio is plenty
Love them!!!!! Can’t wait to start writing in them and hopefully my story book encourages me to read more consistently and finish books ❤️
