Choose one trigger

Use the moment a new relationship asks for an address as the trigger. Decide its category, recovery need and likely lifetime before typing the familiar address from muscle memory.

Make the routine small

Use plus tags for convenient sorting and real aliases for stronger separation. Then label it and store it with the account. Those two steps turn separation into a repeatable habit rather than a collection of unexplained aliases.

  • Test provider support
  • Use tags for sorting
  • Use aliases for privacy
  • Avoid tags for critical recovery

Review when something changes

A breach, a new subscription, the end of a trip or a change of employer is a natural review point. You do not need a daily dashboard for quiet addresses.

Keep the system humane

Support varies across forms and mail systems.

A privacy habit should return attention, not consume it.

Give the next relationship its own route.
