Stick driving isn't that complicated. You can switch from any gear to another, and you don't have to put it in neutral. Ever. Stopping at a red light, I always have the clutch fully depressed. Holding the clutch in doesn't wear the clutch at all since the discs in the clutch are not in contact.
When you're stopping, just break and clutch at the same time. If you're slowing down to park, put it in first to prevent runaway. If you're slowing down to say 10 mph, you break/clutch, shift to 2nd and release the clutch when you're going slow enough.
