The first thing to realise is that for you, and the overwhelming majority of us, digital privacy is not an existential threat. It is an ethical dilemma where you need to sit down and personally work out what is important to you and how many sacrifices you are willing to make in order to achieve that, similar to how people make choices regarding ethical consumerism or their diet. This is commonly referred to as “threat modeling” in the privacy space.
Take it slowly, you don’t need to rush to your destination overnight. Just do things in little steps so the problems you encounter are more manageable and not consuming all your free time. This is an extremely common problem for newcomers to digital privacy, quite likely driven by needless fear mongering from YouTube grifters and overly paranoid people who don’t understand the concept of threat modeling.
