New method in the making (?)

At the moment, I'm testing a new method for learning vocabulary. 

The main point is to make conscious decisions and be selective instead of trying to learn everything that's unknown or seemingly important/useful (hello, inner perfectionist XD). 

A word may be important in the context of an particular text but it's range of usage may be very limited. That's why I ignore such words (just look them up, that's it) and concentrate on such which can be used in different contexts. 

If it works as intended, this approach would make learning and using vocabulary easier. 

I'll experimenting with this method before sharing more details. But maybe it can be useful in the future, who knows?
