I try to live a private, low profile life for many reasons. Whatever my reasons, or yours for that matter, these days it is getting harder and harder to do things quietly and covertly. I am not talking illegal things, just doing things without people knowing your every move. I often think about ways to do things more quietly. Here are just a few ideas:

• Use cash even if you could have used a debit card
• Don't freely give out your address or phone number
• Use a postal box
• Mail letters with stamps, but watch out for size limitations
• Use pay phones, if you can find one
• Try using multiple email accounts and abandon them from time to time
• Use store or library computers
• Use postal or Wal-Mart money orders to avoid revealing your bank accounts to certain parties
• Try Hushmail or Anonomizer for email and Internet viewing
• Don't always use electronic toll payment devices like EZ Pass
• Don't always use store savings or rewards cards
• Turn off your cell phone sometimes to avoid having your movements monitored
• Wear hats and sunglasses when going into a heavily camera monitored area

You are entitled to privacy and anonymity in your life-- as long as you aren't concealing illegal activities, there is nothing wrong with this approach.

What are your thoughts?
