The aim is to make it second nature.
What you want to get comfortable with is just feeling natural, engine rev sound, considered down shifts when you are matching speed gradually etc just like a normal car.
Everyone has great advice already so use that. What helped me but this is many years ago now was I was adamant I wouldn't use flappy paddles and only a real H gate, but the one day I had no where to mount it so I just got used to the paddles.
I took my favourite hot hatch in the game out and just did normal pace laps think "sighting lap" pace I did this for an hour or so and then increased the pace and what I noticed is that you start to not think about changing gear in the same way you don't think about turning, you just see it, feel it and hear it.
