4. Commit to only using the new account consistently.

# Offline Solutions
## 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.
