For my 2 cents worth, I have driven many manual transmission vehicles, and when you try to be smooth you invariably fail. Best advice I have is to not be self-consicience about it. Just do it.

It is also hardest to shift at lower RPMs. If you wnt to practive your shifting, you can start with shifting smooth right at 1000/13000 RPM to get the car moving. It will start to bog as the clutch enages, but if you add a little gas, the shift will be smooth and the car will start moving. Without excessive slipping I might add. This will teach you where the clutch enages and when it is fully enaged. This can help you find the "sweet" spot for later shifts.
