What are other 6mt drivers doing for your shifting trigger points?

I hear 1 pop and know it’s time to shift lol. No but typically I sit very low in the buckets (almost on the car floor) so my HUD is eye level adjusted.
When I see red lights flash I usually know it’s time to shift. That coupled with my understanding of the engine sounds at high RPM allow for a decent shift point. I’m not perfect (nobody is with 6MT, that’s the fun of it) but I’m getting better. Banging 1st gear RPM limiter is fun, and scary at times. Rather do that then money shift ha.
