However, I, personally, am a technophile. I love trying new things out, I love learning different ways to work, and I really value having options. So I've tried out more plugins than I really need. Here are MY top 10 out of everything that I've tried so that maybe you don't have to do the same. ### Structure 10.

This video is timestamped, so if you want to revisit any section, feel free to use those to jump to it, and I'll also leave resources for each plugin in the pinned comment. If you're more interested in using Obsidian without using third-party stuff, check out this video, where I go over my favourite CORE plugins, made by the Obsidian dev team. *Ci vediamo la prossima volta!* Thanks for watching! ### Related videos and resources ### Pinned comment ``` Plugins mentioned: Spaced Repetition: https://youtu.be/b_P5yIBkYLg Initiative Tracker: https://youtu.be/003Jvume-cA?t=1719 Obsidian Leaflet: https://youtu.be/003Jvume-cA?t=742 Dice Roller: https://youtu.be/003Jvume-cA?t=1278 Readwise Official: https://youtu.be/Rw1L5sxlnuU Periodic Notes: https://youtu.be/5Uxj0XgMp0k Excalidraw: https://youtu.be/erKrXsIwbAg QuickAdd: https://youtu.be/LrQVQ37y6IU Templater: https://youtu.be/5j9fAvJCaig Dataview: https://youtu.be/JTObSymEvWA ``` ### Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:27 10.
