Im scared of premature clutch wear n tear~

Yep, sounds fine. Holding the clutch down WILL wear out the spring-loaded throwout bearing, however, it should outlast the rest of the clutch and is replaced at the same time, so don't worry. Generally, if the stop is more than 10-20 seconds, go into neutral and possible pull the handbrake so you can relax your feet.

vasilios, you will learn to hook it up faster and not have to rev or slip so much. The Yaris may have short gearing on first, so you may have to short-shift anyway (like you are). (Short shifting is upshifting before usual as you don't need the torque that 1st provides and you will save fuel.)
