I understand it is possible:
 * to assign keyboard shortcuts to take you to a particular workspace:
   (Windows / Super / Menu) plus number has been suggested.
 * to use the Windows key to bring up the overview mode, which may be
   faster than going to the top left corner then the right-hand side of
   the screen.
 * to install gnome-shell-extensions-auto-move-windows, which:
        Lets you manage your workspaces more easily, assigning a
        specific workspace to each application as soon as it creates a
        window, in a manner configurable with a GSettings key.

As other people have indicated, you may find that having as many
workspaces as needed, rather than being artificially limited to six, is
a major bonus. You may also find that the overview graphical preview of
your workspaces is much more useful than the Gnome 2 one, since it will
show you a lot more clearly what is in each workspace.

Hope this helps,

James.
