When to shift gears (don't laugh, it's on a Tiptronic)?

Never driven a manual or a Tip before and have been playing around with it on manual mode in my new Boxster but am not sure when I am supposed to shift. I like getting the revs up to 6k in 2nd gear, for example, but am wondering if that is bad.

Where should the revs generally be? Should they only be at over, say, 4k for just a few seconds? Is staying in 2nd for a good bit of time bad since I like the revs to be at 4k or more? Totally clueless. This is for driving on flat, city roads btw not a track.
