Keep Your Backlog Manageable

AskAlexK Editorial · November 6, 2026

A long list of unplayed games can make an evening feel like a chore. Put only a few titles in a short current list.

Start with the practical details

Separate games you actively want to play from games you want to remember. The second list can stay out of sight during ordinary sessions.

Make the plan flexible

Remove titles that no longer interest you. An old purchase can remain in your library without occupying a place on your schedule.

Try this on your next trip

Review your shortlist after finishing a game or when your interests change.
