Basically just to get the car moving then pop into 2nd immediately. If i let 1st gear go up pass 3K rpm I find it annoying I either have to slip the clutch longer to match the rpms or wait for the rpms to drop on its own which in the meantime your speed increase has stalled temporarily. I hate when this happens because then the car behind you is right up on your ass unless you take off aggressively initially giving yourself some gap.

Were you aware there's rev matching on upshifts too? Makes 1-2 shifting in Efficient mode super easy. Just wait for the rev match to do its thing and you can dump the clutch without having to slip it at all.
