How do you go about clearing your backlog? (lemmy.world)

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.

By not having a backlog in the first place.

I do have thousands of games on my library, but it's a library. I only pick up the game I'm having an exact itch for, and I put them on hold until I get the itch again, exactly like I do with music albums.

No pressure, no rushing. I can recommend every single game from my library from firsthand experience because I've enjoyed every single second of my time playing them.
