A personal knowledge management system is an all encompassing system for capturing thoughts and information, transforming them into [[Idea|ideas]], then parsing and using them effectively. It's essentially a pipeline for knowledge in your life. You would set a PKS up to be able to search through previous research, but also effectually ingest new research.

If I have something to write about it, I will, otherwise, I'll mostly link proper nouns. It can also help with keeping life productive. Creating a personal knowledge system that works together with other tools can keep life ticking on. Combining a reading list tool with Obsidian would give a list of things to research to put in Obsidian. ## Storage This is generally in whatever application you want to store the data in. * [[Obsidian]], which is the PKM system I use. * [[Notion]] * The [[Filesystem]] ## Collection ## Processing ## Recall ## Dashboards A dashboard is a type of page that takes all available PKM data and tries to distill it into one page. If something requires attention, it would show here. In an intra-connected PKM system, this is easy to automate. # My System ## Collection * For articles I want to read, or highlights to process from Kindle, I use Readwise. ## Processing * Pro ## Recall * Obsidian takes this place. My notes are stored here. # References https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_information_management https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baKCC2uTbRc
