# Email

Changing email services is actually much easier than most people think.

It's really only a few steps.
|

1. Create a new account.
|
||||
2. Set up your old account to forward to the new account.
|
||||
3. Begin using your new account, exclusively using it to read and reply.
|
||||
4. Commit to only using the new account consistently.

## Pen & Paper!
|
||||
There are also alternatives to consider that avoid using electronics completely!
|
||||
|
||||
## Pen & Paper
|
||||
|
||||
A small notepad and a set of good pens can cost under $5 USD.
|
||||
|
||||
Some may consider this wasteful, but at the end of the day, it saves:
|
||||
- time from the lack of distractions,
|
||||
- energy since it is easier to focus on, and
|
||||
- electricity since devices need power to run.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though your electronic may not waste any physical resources, it requires power to run, which needs to be fueled somehow.

# Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Making the jump to alternative technologies is not something which happens overnight.
|
||||
|
||||
Leaving large platforms such as Google's suite can take weeks if not months to completely migrate from.
|
||||
The important part is that progress is being made.
|
||||
Eventually it will happen in full if the commitment is taken seriously.
|
||||
|
||||
Then once it's over, you're done! Other privacy and security minded people will respect that you've taken the time to improve your tech stack while respecting their time and data.
