For everyday driving I shift at around 3,200 RPM.

I used to put emphasis on making sure my foot is down as far as possible when shifting,and still do. I have only grinded gears twice in my Boxster. Both on dates...
Although I have noticed that the car is forgiving if your clutch pedal isn't depressed 100% of the way,just don't a habit out of it.
