Sorry - I missed the last part.
AVOID holding the clutch in for extended periods of time.
Press the clutch in, put it into (or out of gear), and release the clutch ASAP.
IIRC this is to keep the release bearing and springs etc. good for as long as possible.

I clutch in, pop it into neutral, and clutch out once I drop down to about 10 km/h
