Learned to shift without clutch this weekend!

Make a game of it:

Minus 5 points if you come to a complete stop
Minus 2 points if you have to use your brakes
Plus 1 point for every car that merges into the space in front of you

My best run from Long Beach to Hesperia I came to a complete stop three times, used the brakes ten times, and had countless positive points from cars merging in front of me. Keep the rpm's low and be steady and predictable. Run a little bit slower than the rest of traffic when it speeds up and let it flow slightly around you. Rather a relaxing way to drive.
