### Hook
I really think you don't NEED *any* plugins to do good work with Obsidian. 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.

### Outro
It was really hard to pick just 10-- for context, I have 63 plugins installed on my main vault right now-- but these are the 10 that I use *the most*. 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!
