How do you even start with breaking up with your gmail?

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

I started by having my gmail forward to an alias email that goes to a newer more privacy focused email.
From there I would just update account when I got an email from them or the next time I used an account. It is slower then just going through all your accounts on your password manager, but its less daunting and typically the accounts you use the most are going to get updated quickly anyway.
At this point my gmail functions as a "professional sounding" alias for when I am not going to bust out my phone to create an alias for something I am doing in person.
As for something like gdrive, best practice is to have more then one backup, and encrypt what you put on cloud servers to avoid any scanning issues.
