@DSomething, The key is to address the mistakes and take appropriate action. Try actively thinking about your shifting as you are riding; reaching the right RPMS, cutting throttle, de-clutching , shifting, ( rev -matching for downshifts), re-engaging the clutch , and returning to throttle. Work to make every shift as smotth as possible and after a while it will become almost automatic. This strategy applies to all elements of riding: good braking, cornering line, scanning for hazards and threats. One of the things about motorcycling I love is the level of concentration needed to do it well. Ridng well demands all of our attention and focus, otherwise bad things can happen.
