# Elements of a PKM System
A [[Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS)]] is composed of:
- Content (notes, images, journal, metadata, links, backlinks, tags, PDFs, schemas, ...)
- Tools
- Conventions & structure (the boring parts)
- Activities, workflows, systems, habits
- Templates
- Automation
A PKM System goes way beyond the note-taking as part of a [[Tools for Thought (TfTs)|Tool for Thought (TfT)]]. It covers all the phases of the [[Personal Knowledge Management Process]].
