Construct a new identity separate from your real one

Rip out any writable medium (HDD/Flash/USB/FDD)

Use a dial-up modem - no WiFi, no Bluetooth

Boot a seriously stripped-down Linux from a read-only medium
Tin Hat Linux - Tin Hat | opensource.dyc.edu - is a hardened Gentoo variant that looks good, or compile your own Puppy version.

Store your encrypted data in different "secure" Cloud stores.

Passphrases and codes in a LBB (Little Black Book)

No Twitter, no Facebook, No Google+ or anything like that.

Never book or buy online

Reflash your BIOS before starting every session (UEFI is already infiltrated)

Use an old cellphone (Nokia 6310 is good)

Rent your DVDs

Phone, not SMS if avoidable and then only for trivia.

Use an old 9-pin printer or early inkjet

Write letters to communicate! Read real books and real newspapers!

Tremble!
