* Write checks only when necessary. I usually use USPS money orders instead.

* Always have recurring payments on a credit card, which you pay off monthly.

Bill payments and connected accounts should be minor.

Sure, but those are the kinds of steps you take once you've realized you want to limit how much gets tied to your bank account. Similarly, once you go through the pain once of switching email addresses away from an ISP email address, you might move to a provider-independent address. But in both cases, you might not know that the first time.
