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.

Another point of consideration, why do you want to finish all of these games?

Personally, I rarely finish games. So many times I'll play for 6-8 hours and just start to lose interest. At that point I quit the game, maybe to come back to it a few weeks, months, years later, but maybe not.

You have to remind yourself that games are 1) fun, 2) art, and 3) time wasters. The whole point of playing a video game is to waste time, so don't spend that time playing something that isn't fun.

But that's me and how I do it. Good luck!
