That's the nice thing about an H-shifter, you can just put it where you want it and not need to run through them like an auto or sequential. As long as I'm not bogging the car going up hill or something, this works well on flat ground and down hills for daily driving.
I do this sometimes...esp the 3rd to 5th part. It depends on how the revs sound and feel AND my speed in a gear. If I know my revs will be sufficient and I know I'll be cruising in 5th, i'll just go to 5th...still engaging the clutch in between.
