An interesting / somewhat relevant 13 min take on getting obsessed with privacy and potential fatigue from Erik Murphy.
And honest advice, of just taking a break every now and then.
If you try to implement an extreme privacy lifestyle overnight, you are going to very quickly burn out. I always recommend people slowly ease into a more private lifestyle over a period of time. If you try to go full Michael Bazzell on day 1 (dual citizenship, alias IDs, nomad residency, anonymous home purchases, etc), it’s going to be like trying to take a sip from a fire hose. I do not recommend that approach for most people. Start with something simple like browsing the internet with a VPN on a privacy respecting browser - then go from there. For the vast majority of us privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

I fully agree with @The_Centurion: one step at time. Dont go all the way at once. Plan your dive into privacy-oriented world very carefully in order not to create security gaps (that can later become entry points for hackers)
