How do you go about clearing your backlog? (self.games)

Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

Gave up on that a long time ago 🤣

These days I mostly just have a nebulous list in the back of my mind of what games I want to get to and when I finish one (which, the Steam Deck has been a huge help with focusing down one game at a time), I move along to the next.

Also, I started cataloging what I've played on Grouvee, which is as close as I was able to find to Goodreads for games. Helps to be able to go back and look over what I've "accomplished" in the list of completed games.
