Well, with that clarification.

The bad answer is; the only way to use the stupid ribbon correctly (efficiently) is to
memorize where autodesk put everything on the ribbon/tabs.
And, or write all your own custom toolbars for the stuff that you do in the order you do it in.
Sadly the effort to do these things is never returned to you, once they shuffle things around with each release.

Not true.  While there may be a few new panels or tabs to support new features, for the most part the OOTB Ribbon content stays where it is between releases.  For custom content, with it in a partial CUIx it is easily portable when migrating (just copy the file and do a partial load).  There isn't even a need to memorize what everything looks like or where its found; when in doubt there is the command finder under the application icon.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

I've found the command line to be the fastest for me. Even more so with the new versions that have autocomplete.

I heard from a somewhat reliable source that the ribbon might be going away.

I feel that we've gotten quite a bit off topic, so to bring things back to the original question:

... i'm looking for a video that shows how to use the ribbon correctly.

I posit that the only way to use the Ribbon correctly, in a real-world production environment, is as such, particularly if you have multiple widescreen monitors:







... And you're welcome, Swampers.
