Step 1: Pay cash for everything you possibly can. Get prepaid debit cards for everything else. Step 2: Get rid of your smartphone, use a dumbphone -- or better yet get a landline. Step 3: Never use your real name online, ever. Step 4: Never, ever use 'social media' sites. Step 5: Make sure your friends, who are still so dumb that they use social media, never ever post pictures of you online. If they can't respect your wishes then you need new friends. Bonus points: don't let anyone take your picture in the first place. Step 6: If you must carry a cellphone of any kind (even a cheap dumbphone) keep it turned off unless you're actively using it. Bonus points: dismantle, locate the GPS antenna, short it to ground. Now only cell tower triangulation can find you. Step 7: Got a car with GPS or cell connectivity? Short all the antennas to ground. Note: This will disable many functions in your car; it's the price you pay for privacy.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
