Hi. I´m in favour of methods like these to improve English. In fact, I used to read English magazines with variety subjects (Internet, Science, History events, grammar, etc). I used to memorize some grammar, and (according to the magazine) "useful sentences for oral exams", for instance. However, once I decided to put them into practise, I realize it was a completely waste of time. I´m emotionally drained. To my book, an unrewarding activity I was carrying out...
This is just my own experience.

Personally I think the more you read the more you learn. Take it easy!
Please don´t be so perfectionist. I used to be as you are but it isn´t worthwhile.
Enjoy your improvement.
Otherwise, I find this "YES" magazine a little bit similar to a Think in English but the first one is far more completed to my mind.
