1 - Make a list: I've done this year. I have 64 ps4 games in order to play, on excel. Psn plus always make my list grow, 27 ps3 games - all of them are physical so I just organized them in order to play and those that I finish I put in alphabetic order, easy to remember and 20 pc games. I like to replay games that I really enjoy, some of them are in my backlog, at the time I'm playing Dying Light for the 2nd time, Hellblade and The Warriors, all on ps4.
2 - Schedule A Time To Play: Impossible for me, I don't like to do everything in my life like Sheldon Cooper and sometimes I'm tired and just want to relax rewatching The Big Bang Theory while I'm playing Mario Kart in my phone or I'm in a mood to watch netflix instead of play.
3 - Keep Distractions Away: The most important item of list. I have to leave my phone in a different room or I will lost focus.
4 - Stop Unnecessarily Buying Games: I try to buy games that I know I will play, could be in a sale of psn or used physical game but I try to get most as I can to play one day, it´s a problem, there are an excessive number of interesting games in the world and I like games of all time, in my backlog has a game of 1980.
5 - Stick With One Game, But Leave Yourself Options: This is hard, I'm terrible in most games and I get demotivated sometimes without progressing and just leave the game to my backlog, if I comeback years later I will start from the beginning, if I start to get stuck is better to take turn in 2 games or sometimes 3, so I don't get demotivated and play less time that I desire.
6 - Consider Your 'Live Service' Game Time: Important issue. I'm avoid right now to play online, on this covid era I played more than 1000 hours of Pro Evolution Soccer online, was starting to playing a considerable time of Rogue Company, this make me to not appreciate some games that I want.
7 - Know When It's Time To Move On: As I said to do this is bad for me, because when I came back, I start from the beginning, so is better to take turn on games and play one difficult game in a slow pace.
8 - Enlist A Friend: The friend who ask me all the time to play is a friend who wants to play madden all the time, I play sometimes madden 16 on ps3, I'm not interesting to buy a new sport game every year so we can play online. Importunely today for me is hard to find someone who was many games as I do and wants to buy a game for us to play together with frequency.
