I learned rev-matching in a similar fashion. Once apon a time I had a car with bad - as in, nonexistent - synchros, so I learned to rev match naturally just so I could shift without grinding every gear. I still to this day do this with every shift.

Keep practicing. Try using smooth driving techniques everyday. When you start doing track events, you'll be amazed how much faster these techniques will make you.
