Come up with a handful of important main password as a series of very specific words that would be hard to guess. Throw a proper noun in there and don't make it a well-known phrase.
Important main passwords are those you need to personally remember for important accounts. Like a password manager's master passwoed, an encrypted document or backup password, or an email account.
For every other password, use an open source password manager where you control the vault. Use the built-in generator to make strong passwords that conform to whatever requirements the service has. If you don't have the capacity to control your own vault, use bitwarden and work on getting that capacity, then run your own bitwarden or vaultwarden later.
I'd also add that intentional misspellings of words can slow down dictionary attacks, particularly if you use uncommon letter pairings, like HamsterDance -> Hamqter Dpnce.
