As you're approaching your cornering speed shift down to the gear you're going to use, and then when you're done braking, immediately reengage the clutch while blipping the throttle. You should be done with your braking so you don't need to heel toe. It shouldn't take more than a moment to reengage.

Go to Youtube and watch some racing or racing instruction videos - you should see the gear selection and clutching all done before going into the corner. It's not going to matter at normal street speeds, but it doesn't seem good form to engage a clutch in the middle of the corner, and freewheeling just means you're not ready to accelerate out of the corner.
