- watch Rowena’s video HERE 🌟 → • productivity: 10 popul... and join our challenge on Vibely! app.vibely.io/collab/hot-take.... 50% of this video is about Notion because I had a LOT to say, okay 🤧
↴ pls open + read me for helpful links and resources 🥺
kslkdjaskd I can’t believe I am actually uploading this! 2018 Beatrice, who had just started her baby yt channel and was watching Rowena’s videos to figure out how to juggle school and making videos (April 2018 lol rip), literally IMAGINED this moment. She thought - “wow, Rowena and I could TOTALLY be friends and if I lived in nyc we could ‘grab lunch’ and be cool youtubers in the city~” 🏙️ She probably would not have believed you if you had said this collaboration video would happen one day in the not too distant future!
So, to Rowena: Thank you SO MUCH for being an inspiration, a role model, and my yt big sis 👯♀️ and for joining me in this video! Working with you was the best and reminded me of how much fun making videos can be 💖

Agree about Notion. It just seems so complex and maintenance heavy. I think it requires a Monica from Friends personality to be able to use it.
I´m this type of personality and still don´t like hehe
I prefer my old but gold Evernote + Todoist combo
What i do is on UA-cam alot of people who show their notion also make templates of their page and it saves alot of time so I just copy their template remove things I don't need and done!
I use revisign 's notion template
But like they said in the video it depends on the person
Or Amy Santiago
@@nevyaalyamardhiyah7460 hello fellow b99 fan
I found a template and I made it very simple for my needs
About the book tracking: you might really like Storygraph. You can import your goodreads library, it's black woman-owned, and it automatically tracks what genres and moods you read, how much you read (both books and pages). It's super simple and intuitive, the customer support is very responsive, they're constantly improving the product, and you can even use half and quarter stars in your rating.
yes yes yes! so much nicer to look at and nicer to use - especially the app. bonus: its not owned by amazon.
Amazing, I'll check it later.
@taevas to contrast it with Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon, obviously... Since a lot of people prefer supporting minorities over supporting Jeff Bezos, it's something worth mentioning.
@taevas so I've honestly tried to read up on this. Because even though an individual black person can't speak for everyone, they still have the experience that a white person will lack. But all I've been able to find is that you shouldn't say it as just a trendy thing, but that being labelled as such does help funding (grants and investments) reach those people that are at a disadvantage to begin with.
In the case of reading apps, a lot of people felt iffy about using an app owned by Amazon but there was no real alternative available. For a lot of people, that in itself was enough to have people change apps. Then this new app turned out to be owned by a black person, who's also a woman. It could've been as bad as Goodreads, and I still would've switched, because I don't want to support Amazon and am trying to support both small businesses and minorities instead. For me, this was the main reason for switching from Goodreads to Storygraph. I did so when it was still in beta. And then it turned out to also have great features.
So I tried to do the work and still didn't find out why it would be wrong. Actively supporting minorities is necessary if you want to counteract the fact that they started off with a disadvantage. But for that to happen they need to be labelled as such. And again, any black woman is not Jeff Bezos. So where do you think I'm wrong? Businesses shouldn't be labelled as such? One shouldn't support a business because of its owner? Minorities don't need to be supported? Supporting Amazon is equal to supporting a black woman?
@taevas I literally said that I know I don't know more than black people, and that after you pointing out that it was performative, I tried to look up why it was performative, but could not find anything explaining why it would be wrong what I did. Then I explained why I chose to include the label "black woman owned" in my original comment and I said that I honestly don't understand what I'm doing wrong here and what the exact point I'm doing wrong is. So I said I didn't know better, tried to look it up myself, then asked for clarification because I still don't get it and apparently doing that in itself is also performative? I'm honestly trying to understand, but I'm guessing you expect people in UA-cam comments to look for debates, not answers. Because I don't know why you would otherwise be so antagonistic to someone who's actually trying their best to understand.
I love how you kept this video light hearted. It’s all about personal preferences and I agree it’s about finding things that work for you and not worrying about what works for other people.
It's a relief to see that productivity queens are also humans
Rowena Tsai x Bliss Bean x Antonia and the Universe x Lavendaire.✨
YESSSS!
Who is Antonia? (I am trying to find new studytubers)
@@inerys6133 Antonia and the Universe is the name of her channel. I love her content ❤️ She's all about minimalism and creating routines, not so much about studying
@@inerys6133 ua-cam.com/users/AntoniatheUniverse there you go. She was guest on the podcast of Beatrice.☺️
omg such a power combo
My two favorite UA-camr collaboration - this was really needed. ✨🧡
Yees! Best year 😍😍
okay this is SO interesting, i've really tried to get used to notion but for some reason i just can't get on board. i thought i was the only one 🤪
Rowena convinced me to use it for work and I have been finding it useful for organizing complicated content calendars, scripts, and tasks, and to stay on the same page with an assistant, buuuut still definitely can't visualize it for personal planning!
I completely agree about the notion and paper bullet journaling. As a person who isn’t really a planner and who isn’t really organised and consistent it’s just too overwhelming and complicated... I used to spend hours to fill in my Notion and create an “aesthetic” Notion page but ended up not getting anything done lol so my initial purpose of using Notion to be productive is just actually keeping me away from be productive... but yea, it’s pretty great for work, wishlist and for financial management (it’s only my personal preference tho)
Omg YES. I gave up on using notion exactly for planning and thought I was the only one who hates it.
Thanks god.
The reason I love bullet Journaling and it works for me is
I don't have more than 4-5 tasks and don't need long categorised to-do lists
Also I'm an artsy person so even during a busy week it gives me a creative outlet and I absolutely love taking time off on weekends to just make fun spreads
But I do know it's not for everyone!
Same! What helps me not get burnt out is that I have a pretty simple format for my day-to-day spreads that only involves choosing a couple of creative touches, and I get more ambitious with monthlies.
@@prinniapuff yess sameee!
I relate to your thoughts on Bullet Journaling. I loved making my own beautiful journals, but there was simply too much friction for me having an analog system. Great conversation!
I like the point about self-help books. The true benefit of it comes from applying it into your life. If that's not happening, then they aren't as helpful as they might initially seem!
there's no way this is real😭😭my two faves in a collaboration!! I must be dreaming
omg this collab is everything!
Omg this is the first digital collab I’ve seen this whole pandemic , so cute. And great video idea! Loved every minute of it
Aw hehe I'm really proud of how we pulled it off, honestly! thank you so much!
I personally use Notion. I love using Notion. But, end of the day it depends on you because these tools are made for you and you should choose the one that suits you the best.
THE COLLAB OF COLLABS ✨✨
This was amazing! Please do it again! You two are amazing! ✨
Love, love, love both of you. Thank you for doing this collab 💚
i love the transition to the collab WHOA
Ahahah thank you sm took me some time to edit that and some downloaded sounds 😂😂
the energy of this video was amazing omg!!!!!
absolutely love the dynamic in this video
Two of the best channels!!!!!!😻😻😻love this
Best duo ever everrrrrr!!! ♡♡♡ love you guys so much!
This video is so different from anything I’ve seen before, I’m here for it! 👏👏👏
AHHH THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! Congrats on the collab and networking and constantly creating cool things
I almost didn’t believe it!!! Love this collab
I've been waiting for this video. Glad it's here now.
Watching you always gives me so much inspiration and motivation!! ❤️🪴
I adore this collaboration ❤️!
I love this collab sooo mucchh!!! Soo happy to hear all your thoughts together 🥰🥰💗💗💗 glad Rowena introduced me to you! 😍😍😍 Eek yaayy! Deffs checking out the rest of your videos now 🥰🥰
I always freak out when I see two of my favorite youtubers collabing 🤪✨
It's been so long since I watch UA-cam and gosh it's so therapeutic to see you two collab ❤️
This is the best collab ever! ✨
I just LOVE this collab!!! I totally agree w/ you about Notion. For me it's just overwellming. I also appreciated this healthy conversation w/ amazing Rowena. ♡♡♡
The greatest collaboration!
Talking about Notion makes me instantly hit the subscribed button. Wow! I just love this kind of content. Honest and realistic.
saw midnight library on your goodreads b roll and that book by far has helped me more than any self help book ever has. def agree that that kind of knowledge comes from all over, not just one genre.
Oh wow this is the collab i didnt know i need!
loving your outfits AAAAAHHHHHHHH
I loved this form of collaboration ❤️
Both of u is my favvvv!! And so shock to see you guys do a collabb😍😍😍✨✨😫😫
This was one of my favorite Bliss Bean videos ever. I’m a relatively new UA-cam consumer (and creator, but that’s not necessarily germane), so I’ve never watched a Rowena Tsai video, but you know I’m gonna go subscribe right now!
I don’t like bullet journaling physically bc I don’t have time . But digital bullet journaling with just the month and then decorating it is just so comforting even if I’m a month late I think about the last month and basically review what happened or decorating it
the BEST collab everrr
I love the format here of doing a things we don't do video, but in collab with someone who actually differs from you, because the questions and the back and forth helps you to refine why it's not for you personally, not just because it's a dumb thing.
Wooow, thank you very much for this video! I'm a long time subscriber of Rowena and have just discovered your channel via your collab. I've been trying so hard to make Notion work for me, because of how it seems to work for every single person on the youtube space, and similarly to you, I felt like, yes, it does look aesthetic and super organized, but it also requires a lot of time to set up those databases, layouts, etc. and to maintain them! You really opened my eyes on the fact that it's ok to ditch Notion if it stresses you out more than it helps you. Also, i've been recently swayed into getting an iPad because, once again, of how it seems to simply the lives of so many people on the web, but, aside from the financial cost, I have not thought of a mental stress having a whole new device can cause, which you mentioned and with which I 100% agree. So, a huge thank you, Beatrice, for bringing up those points. I needed to hear them!
This I really need to know. This can help in clearing my mental clutter.
I agree with the self help books, because we dont have enough time or attention to implement each lesson we read in our lives. Also, there’s so much self-help books, most of them I think are just going to say the same thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. 🥰
I love notion for medical school, mostly for taking notes and use toggles. But it takes time to learn :)
rowena asking “what are they?” in 16:32 is the cutest thing😊
Thank you for getting English subtitles! I hope your next videos have English subtitles too
I'm watching your videos in Korea
i used to struggle to use notion as my all in everything but i use it now as my “second brain” with my lecture notes, and really big research info goes! i have a digital planner i use via my ipad using the good notes app which i access also with my phone. also for journaling i started using my paper notebook again just because it feels better for me. i decided it was okay to have things in separate places 😌
also thank you for talking about self help books, i used to feel stressed to take notes and apply them in my life so i’d always delay reading them. now i see it as sometimes it’s okay not to and take what i need at the season in my life!
I so agree with you about notion!!! Ngl it's very useful but it's high maintenance. It's overwhelming I can't
omgg i'm the same with all of ur habits! except notion hehe
as usual love this video Beatrice 🤍
Awesome collab from this two. I found your channels way back then because of TeuxDeux app
It's so true what you said about Notion!! The first time I used it, I deleted it like RIGHT AWAY! Because I knew I was going to obsess about it. But I have since got back on it.. and it is very helpful to keep my database and thoughts more organized...but I have to admit, I am spending so much time obsessing on figuring a system that works best for me..but I was doing that with my physical bullet journal before that...so I am trying to see it as fun time...but a lot of wasted time indeed!
OMG MY TWO FAVS COLLABING!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS
you two together!!!
omggg my two favess!!
I´m a recent follower, I "found out" about you in the studying tips video, and I really like your style and personality, I´ve learned soooo much from you´re channel, and for that, I just want to say thank you; I really appreciate your work, and it has helped me so much and I enjoy it too. Like this video felt so easy-going and light and you went thru some really real points, like Notion and bullet journaling, I mean, yeah they´re great but do they actually work, or are they just popular and I adopted them, but they are actually timewasting. Anyway just thanks!, Appreciated it!!
Two of my favourite you tubers what a surprise👏
I LOVE YOU TWO SO SO SO MUCH OH MY GODDESS
I LOVE YOU BOTH!
Aw thanks so much for watching 🥰
@@TheBlissBean
What a fantastic fun and light collaboration by 2 empowered women. I love your channels and it was so refreshing to hear this discussion and that it’s ok not to like what seems popular. Great take home is finding what works for you.
Oh thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this video, thank you for watching 🤗
We have so many similarities! 💖 It's okay not to follow trends. Let's just do what work for us even if it isn't the mainstream. 😊
My two elder sisters giving me tips for my highschool 9th grade which started just a week ago but full of stressful work but so many tips from experienced people is best thing
you got this!!
Good luck!!
@@manonomx thank you
@@sacharymateo1710 thank you
Same mine just started yesterday
can you make photography tips video?
ps really love your work 💕
I love notion. It's the best
I just discovered this channel through Rowena and I am so happy that I watched this video of yours.
Aw thank you so much so glad to have you here! I just started using it for work, like Rowena and I talked about, and I feel like one of the reasons (at least for me) that it seems to work for THAT purpose, is that I use it collaboratively. My assistant and I NEED to update it in order to know what's going on with each other's work, and we also keep each other in check with not making it too complicated. If one person wants to make a page, the other can be like, "I don't think we need that" or look at an existing page and say "do you think we could simplify/delete this?"
i knew itt I knew that you guys were about to collabbb yeahhh
Hahaha you knewwww 🤗
You just seem like such a wholesome person! Ugh
Aw thank u 🥺
Omg, i feel the same. I barely use notion, don’t .... feel the good vibes on it ? But I really love watching youtube videos abot people using it!,,,, hahahahhabha
I remember poking around in Notion, and knowing it wouldn't work for me for planning.
What I use it for is organizing digital content; it's nice cause it can connect to all of my devices with the website and apps, so I can access the information anywhere.
I've started to use it for keeping websites I find online organized and to keep my job applications in order.
OMG MY TWO FAV UA-camRS IN ONE VIDEO
Hey Bliss bean - I came over via Rowenas channel and glad I've found you. I agree with you 100% about Notion! P.s. you may be interested in Storygraph, which is like goodreads but has more features for overviews of books you read in a particular year etc. What's even better is you can export your goodreads to storygraph with little effort and (to me) it's just as easy to use as goodreads too with added features! Plus it's not owned by amazon... ;)
Besides this dream collab, I feel so much better knowing that there is someone else with those "unpopular" opinions 🥺
Loved this video. Random tip i have for those who wanna do small doodles -you can buy a pretty good stylus with a fine tip to use on your phone! And there are a lot of drawing apps with free features or you can buy procreate its pretty cheap i think(i dont have it) and of course the phone screen is small but its goood enough for small/simple doodles
Eu sou aquele comentário em português que se sente orgulhosa pela Livraria Lello ter aparecido TT
accidentally watched this video and agree with everything you mentioned! subscribed :)
Beatrice woke up and chose ✨ controversy ✨ 😭😭😭😭
Honestly love this collab!! Both of my fave productivity queens 💓💓💓
Oh my god oh my god oh my god !!!
This is too much for my heart 😭😭😭😭
i agree about notion! in my opinion its really only useful for tracking due dates and assignments for school...
I like notion for organizing my study notes and I used some of ros layouts but for more personal things I use a bujo and Google keep
I just discovered your channel. I don't know why but I'm getting Rory Gilmore vibe from you ^^ 💜
Finally someone said this !!! I tried notion tooo and gave it a big shot but guess it was not for me .
Beatrice is my spirit animal
I saw you because of Rowena - MY FAVORITE!!! I think I'll enjoy your channel as well. Also, you speak like Alexis Bledel, also a favorite. So I'm excited to see more of you!
Also, I love how I really feel like Rowena is your big sis! Sooo cute and I feel the loveeee! I'm so jealous. Girls, please be my friend!!! ***also, sharing this to my sissy who introduced me to Rowena.
Gosh, please don't find me annoying. Your thoughts from Rowena's video and in this shows that you are sooo me!!!!! I live by Google Doc and my very disorganized Expense Tracker in Google Sheets! I live by Google Calendar as well!!! ***confetti
I debated about getting an ipad and apple pencil for yearsssss. I have previously been known for being very passionate about how I was NEVER getting an ipad...but then apple pencil came. I held on, but then I started Uni. As a humanities student 85% of my work is just reading long af pdfs and annotating them/ trying to figure out what my takeaway should be. After a semester of doing this on my laptop I decided to get an ipad and OH MY GOD it changed my life. Like it just makes scribbling/drawing and annotating PDFs SO much easier (at least the way I prefer to do it), being able to "change screens" during my workday and yes, sometimes being able to read in my couch is just really nice! BUT for me it's an add on tool to my computer. I would never write my papers or "sentence notes" on my ipad. That's for my computer.
oh, and there's also science backing up that people who read fiction have a MUCH larger vocabulary. Like almost twice as big as non-fiction and non-readers do.
I'm agree with you, i don't like use the bullet journal🥴🥴, once i prove the digital once i don't want to get back 😅
I just watch your speech!! Very interesting 💞🤩
OMG I'm so happy I'm not the only one who doesn't like notion! It's too complicated for me, I've tried it a couple of times thinking "well, if everyone uses it then it should work for me" but no!! ❤️ Thanks for speaking about this!
Most people need a coach or consultant to teach them how to use Notion effectively. You're not alone. 😊
So true
Your nailssss!!!!! 😍😍
i only use notion for the checklist parts to plan what i’m gonna do, other than that i cannot wrap my head around it
I love that I forget you both are army until I see your backgrounds or a bt21 character in the background 💜☺️
MY FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER SO TRUE
OMG PLEASE THE NOTION ONE IS SO TRUE!! I thought im the only one who doesnt use notion anymore!
Cal Newport: YAASS!!!
I am waiting ✨✨✨
Honestly that overcomplexity is more of a mindset issue than a tech issue. No one HAS to download a book cover image just to keep a list of books they want to read (mine is a plain bulleted list in Notion because even Goodreads is more information than I want or need).
