Right now I'm adding gas when the clutch is like 80% released, but I'm not sure if this is considered pre-mature wear on the clutch

Yes, you should be adding gas before you completely release the clutch. That should apply when up shifting to any gear.
Assuming 80% released is where your bite point is, ease out the clutch gradually as you gradually apply gas.

Btw, I always recommend this channel to whomever is learning how to drive manual:
IMO, he has the best tutorials and takes his time going through the different scenarios, including not minding to stall or lug his motor just for demonstration purposes.
