Triage a backlog without the guilt

Twenty minutes. Three piles. Permission to uninstall.

Mira Chen · Sep 15, 2026 · 4 min read

A backlog is not a moral debt. It is a queue with bad labeling. Once a month the desk does twenty minutes: keep, lend to a friend, or delete. No eulogies.

If a game has sat for ninety days and you cannot say the next thing you want to do in it, it is not a keep. Hollow Meridian stays because the next valley is specific. Everything else has to earn the drive space the same way.

  1. 1Sort by last played, not by price.
  2. 2Write one sentence: the next thing you want.
  3. 3No sentence, no keep.
  4. 4Uninstall in the same sitting. Do not schedule the feeling.
