I started my move in November of 2018 according to my Fastmail billing history.

I've _still_ got a few places that insist sending mail to Gmail (mostly sites that don't let me switch email for some weird reason).

I got my own domain, set it up on Fastmail, imported all my old mails from Gmail and set up a permanent forward from Gmail to Fastmail.

Then I set up a filter on Fastmail that shows all mails that were sent to my Gmail address and slowly went through that list and switched from @gmail.com to my own domain.

Now I'm the customer for my email instead of the product and I 100% own my own domain so no single company can take it away.
