When I first started driving, it was with manual. And it really helped once I realized two things:
Being shitty at gear shifts won't make me fail at the final test. Instructor told me as much. If I wear out the clutch and cox up the engine through repeated stalls, that's my problem - I can torture and destroy my car through ineptitude, as long as it's done in accordance with road safety.
Getting used to the clutch is half the battle. Not clutches in general, but the specific one you're driving. Once you get used to know how insensitive or sensitive it is, the rest will be a lot easier. With time (and not a whole lot of it, actually), you'll be shifting gear without having to think much about it, just like the rest; right now you're struggling with you many areas that require your focus. As you practice them, you will do all of them without thinking about them.
I still need a while getting used to new gearboxes whenever I'm using someone else's car.
Oh, and a tip: be sure to memorize the gear positions, and while standing still with the engine off you can practice shifting from and to any gear without looking. That's one less thing to pay attention to.
It kind of makes sense: I bet the type of person who actually use this hotkey is the same kind of person who reposts motivational corporate shite every 10 minutes.
The music varies a lot. Everything from Adam Young, via Hiromi Uehara, to Dimmu Borgir. The common thread is that it has to be instrumental and not annoying.
That's my career in a nutshell. Most people remember how everything went to shit in both 2008 and 2020. Both of those years, economic turmoil coincidentally gave me huge career boosts.
"Yeah, we're downsizing. But you can have this position instead..."
True. There are reports that Elon himself agreed with this in a weekly address to xitter staff, after he thoroughly explained how he takes care to use the right type of lube when rectally inserting cucumbers on himself.
A survey conducted means someone paid for it. I'm having a hard time believing anyone but Elon himself being willing to pay for this survey.
