Isn't 3k RPM bit too high already? If I let out clutch little bit fast at 3K, my grandma wouldn't be enjoying a pie in my passenger seat.:P I usually blipping gas to 1.5-2K to start with. Well maybe it's just me.

If you make a habit of flipping your hand the "other" way (back of hand to the left, fingers curved away from you) on 3->4, it make the natural tendency for mistakes be to the right instead of to the left. An accidental 3->6 is no big deal, but an accidental 3->2 at high rpm sucks.

The common shifting mistake I make is the Reverse/6th gear. In an early morning when I am still in a semi-sleeping mode I often don't push the lever hard enough and thought it's in the reverse gear already and go.
This is how I get myself into a fully wakeup mode in a sleepy day.
