Studying my own way by using genki for grammar and occasionally words, while using books for most words.

What is your opinion on this learning method?
\
\
Studying words/kanji from books
\
Occasionally using genki to study some words and mostly using it for grammar instead
\
Going to certain pages when studying specific words instead of going in order
\
Using genki and kanji look and learn to look up kanji stroke order
\
\
I decided to start studying this way because of only following the textbook was boring.
\
And while these words are taught later in the book or equivalent. I preferred to study them earlier
\
\
Like the words in the earlier paragraph I’m using to describe things, like the words “and” “while” “words” “earlier” “later” and the other words, for example.
\
\
While the other words they teach first (book, chopsticks, window, etc) are important, excluding the words in the books I’m using, I prefer to practice the words used in sentences first before them.
\
\
While genki slowly teaches them slowly over multiple lessons.
\
I know that they don’t want to overwhelm people, with the words and grammar, I realized the way genki teaches things does not work for me, does anyone else who uses genki study differently compared to it?

Edit 2: I look up the words in the books using genki, and a dictionary.
