I would counter with; do not rush any leveling at all. There is precious little endgame so saving things is counterproductive. Take your time, try not to fast travel. Use your tokens when you get hold of them (they won't actually help you past 265 anyway), just do things when you feel like them. Don't save the blue badge missions too long - if you really need them you can always do them on a second character.

when you reach endgame hang on to all of the highest light level stuff you get from milestones/powerful gear engrams and only turn in milestones once you've got to your highest possible PL without them (so you get the best possible level from them) they're literally the only way to increase your light level past some of the sticking points and you can only get 3-4 of them each week.
also at endgame you'll get blue badge missions on each world, save the EDZ ones until you are pretty much at the 300 cap. they trigger an exotic quest and you'll want to get it at as high a level as poss as it gives two decent weapons which are based on your current level when you get them.
likewise don't waste all your tokens at lower levels. save them until you hit the soft-caps at 265
powerlevelling tip: public events give the most xp for least amount of time, learn how to trigger the heroic version of each one.
if you see a public event due to start you can keep fastravelling to the nearest point until you hit a server with people nearby which helps a ton in doing them quickly
once you finish a public event if there's a fast travel point nearby collect your crate and fast travel to it immediately a couple of times and you may find another one still in progress, you just need to land a bullet on an enemy to join before it finishes to get the reward, they appear at the same time across servers but the timers only begin when the event is activated, not impossible to run the same public event 2 or 3 times in quick succession for xp and the drops.
