What you'll want is to forward your Gmail to ProtonMail as soon as possible, because otherwise you'll always visit Gmail first. So forward Gmail and then just keep a pinned ProtonMail tab open, and get rid of whatever Gmail notification extensions you may have. Also disconnect the Gmail mobile app and set-up ProtonMail on mobile.
What may give you a push is that Google seems to be trying to make Gmail a more proprietary and less of an interoperable standardized email service. Eventually it may not be as easy to get out of that "lock-in" as it is now (even though it seems hard, but it's mostly a matter of habit and will to change to a new service).
