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.

Yeah, I don't like the "backlog" mentality. It makes gaming sound like a list of chores, full of tedium and a sense of obligation. I buy games I know I'm going to want to play eventually, and I'll get to them when I get to them. My goal isn't to "clear my backlog" it's to have fun, play what feels right to play, and go at my own pace.
