How to make myself unhackable

So between emails and games I've recently had a couple hack attempts on my accounts. Now from what I've heard the best way to keep from getting hacked on multiple fronts is to have separate email accounts for each game and to never use the same password twice. Now my only question is, how do you keep all those emails and passwords straight? I currently have only 3 different emails (with related names) and 3 different passwords that are shared by probably over a dozen different logins.
Any help would be appreciated.

I use alphanumeric passwords for everything. I make them up myself, by looking at patterns on the keyboard.
Such as, if this is your keyboard
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
Q W E R T Y U I O P
A S D F G H J K L
Z X C V B N M
You can see that 1qaz are all in a column, so you could make apassword that was 1qaz2wsx3edc
Looks pretty random, and is pretty much impossible to figure out. Obviously that's not my password, it's just an example.
It's also easier to remember because of
muscle memory
if you make a password like this.
If you can just remember which password goes to what account, even by trial and error for each site, it's pretty secure.

I know a guy that does this, sadly. The problem with using passwords like that is that, if someone else knows you use that kind of password, it makes it easier for them to narrow the kinds of passwords you use. And, since there's research done on muscle memory, you can bet that people looking to crack passwords will take that into consideration as well.
Yeah, but if there's 36 possible keys for that one entry and they don't have to make a word, then it's going ot be difficult. If I see a pattern on the keyboard, then someone else might not see the same pattern. If, for example, I decided to skip a row on hte keyboard as part of my pattern, that makes it harder.
