I don’t give personal info to websites, and keep a gmail account (again with an alias) that I use to sign up for anything that is not official.  This keeps all my potential spam and unwanted email going to the same address, so I can look at infrequently and not miss anything important.
 
I don’t download any illegal music, movies, software, and I only connect to official wifi when outside of my home or the home of trusted friends and family.  I don’t respond to unwanted emails, and utilize a strong spam filter, so I hardly have to look at them at all.  Just once a day in case something has slipped in accidentally.
 
I use strong unique passwords for almost all sites, and I keep them in a password manager.  I recently did Tactical Tech’s Data Detox (highly recommended), which also changed my practices.  I started using Duck Duck Go, as a result, started to use a variety of blockers on my browsers.
