4) coast
5) before hitting lower limit, put in gear but only release clutch to friction point and back
6) with engine started, rev match
7) put into gear and accelerate?
and all this while paying attention to inclinations in the road and accelerating on decents and coasting on accents.
lol it was a bit of a "bumpy" ride to work

Yup. That's why I say it is a bit like re-learning to drive. In a way it feels like learning the pilot the craft. Good luck. Take it easy. Be safe. Over time you'll get better at it and as you do FE numbers will climb. If you want to have some measures of the improvement, keep a "trip log" for you commute here at EM. Just record your commute FE using your UG or Scangauge (if you have one)... your trip FE will climb over time when you start getting the whole technique down and can use it over increasingly extensive stretches. Take your time. You'll get there.
