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.

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.

Safely and beautifully packed. So well packed it can withstand poor delivery practices! Love using these books. Efficient process through to receipt. Happy return buyer.
It took a long time to arrive - but it was worth the wait!
It's amazing! Can't get enough
Love them. Thanks!
There’s no instructions for using the tool, it just shows up and as a person with add it’s overwhelming to look at these pages and have no idea what to do first, second etc.
This entire kit is so beautiful and gives a calm organised vibe! The personalised embossing is the ultimate addition for this special 21st gift!
Very slow postage. I am quite disappointed in them as they are very limited, as in usage. However, I do like the meal planner. I just wish I hadn’t purchased a year’s worth.
Never received it, altought it was included as a free gift.
Store owner replied: Thank you Emilie for letting us know, I have reached out to review your order for you xx
Not sure yet, seems a little too loose for me.
The rainbow charm is super cute and adds joy when I open my planner.
So excited to start a new year with this fast brain… I need it. Love it!
Still learning to use this but so far I really like it. It’s a very good way to keep my thoughts organized. Excited to try the updated version
Just what I wanted! It’s the perfect sized folio and holds my notebooks perfectly. The video tutorials were so helpful
My personalization is perfect! Just what I wanted!
As a teacher this is the best planner I have ever chosen. It is engaging and motivating to use!!
Beautiful! Love my set.
The cover is terrible quality- it’s not like what looked like in the advertisement- the inserts were fine- I would prefer my money back -

Thank you for all of your help getting this order to me after DHL messed up the first delivery by taking to the right address but in the wrong town! Your assistance is greatly appreciated and I'm pleased with the look and quality of the notebooks and cover.
Miglior planner per la mia mente caotica
Lovely xxx
Not the best quality product
Lovely muted highlighter colours. Such a nice change from loud colours
I have my own personalised folio and I purchased a couple more for gifts. They have been very well received and they look gorgeous.
I haven’t started to use the books yet but I have added the books to the folder and placed a second order.
Gorgeous colour
Great books but took over a month to arrive, which was a shame because I ordered them as a gift.
Its a nice addition to my folio, i always know where the recipes my husband loves are.
Abosolutely love it, and now that I have it I can see why the shipping takes a bit
Wonferful planner for those that are scatter brained
Love it!
Gorgeous!
Love it!
Smaller than expected. But does hold up well.
The notebooks took a month to arrive and are really overpriced for what they are. A lower price point woukd make them feel more worthwhile but otherwise don’t fall for the marketing hype!
This is genius! I wish I had this ages ago
I love it
Just got it and love it. Easy to set up, super nice communication. Perfect so far.
I've been loving it! Was hoping the pages were a bit thicker but love it none the less.
Has been fantastic!! Perfectly geared toward the ADHD brain. The first planner that I have ever purchased that is a lot of fun to use. Highly recommend!
