I like to look at shifts in terms of where the rpm will land after the shift. There's a minimum usable rpm, and I aim for that. For example, if my minimum is 1200 rpm:
Shift, speed, rpm before / after
1-2, 12 mph, 2480 / 1240
2-3, 17 mph, 1760 / 1175
3-4, 23 mph, 1580 / 1188
4-5, 29 mph, 1498 / 1199
So I'm shifting at 2480 rpm, then 1760, then 1580, then 1498.
