1. Start now. But don't use @fastmail.com as your email address. Get a personal domain and email address (i.e. me@efiecho.com), and forward it to fastmail. 2. Setup fastmail as the host for me@efiecho.com 3. Have your gmail account forward to me@efiecho.com. When people ask for your email, or you setup a new account, start using me@efiecho.com That way if you later switch away from fastmail (like I did), your email address stays the same, me@efiecho.com.
