Quickly push in clutch pedal and shift to 3rd gear
Release clutch pedal
So whatever you call all that nonsense, that's what I've been doing, and my clutch lasted way long than everyone else's that I know of.

You can't double clutch without rev matching, but you can rev match without double clutching. Doing so would go something like this:
Release gas and push in clutch pedal
Shift lever from 4th to 3rd
Apply throttle to bring engine RPM up to correct engine speed for 3rd gear
Release clutch
Doing it this way won't cause any more clutch wear than the way you described. It will wear the synchros faster, but that's usually not a problem on modern transmissions.
