When driving a manual, when you have to slip the clutch to get moving from a standstill, you are wasting a lot of energy. So when driving a manual, when feasible try to keep your speed from ever getting below the speed your car travels at when in 1st gear with the engine idling. I consider both brake linings and clutch linings to be consumables and try to avoid using them whenever possible.
