Try not to cruise in neutral. Better to be in gear whenever possible to reduce brake wear/make it easier to brake and ensure you have power to the wheels when you need it (e.g. an emergency situation).
Also, as fun as popping the clutch is, it’ll eventually kill your car.
Some advanced stuff since everybody else probably already covered the beginner stuff:
When you get the hang of driving stick, which you will pretty quickly, you can try matching revs on downshifts to smooth things out and then you can try heel toe with matching revs.
When you get really good you can shift gears without engaging the clutch just by rev matching, but don’t try that til wayyyy later. Can mess up the gears.

Save gas, don’t have to shift through gears when coming to a stop, laziness.
