I think the double clutching is good for most people as it forces you to take the time to shift gears and gives you the proper rhythm to do it. You can use the other method suggested
But I think it’s a little harder for the average driver.
On a side note I have gone all day using the clutch just to start off and timing the shifts up and down with no clutch and not grinding very often, just a little snick into gear.
I normally use the “double clutch method” though.
