How do you organize your TBR? (alien.top)

So I just devised an elaborate organization plan to help me get through my TBR cause i realized i own 16 (16!) Unread books. I put a book buying ban on myself till I've read every single one of these books. I'll be reading 3 at the same time no more no less, all of these 3 books will be different vibes/genres from eachother and from the group of 3's before them. Everytime i finish a group of 3's i get starbucks or an energy drink as a reward. Will this scheme fail? Probably, idk how efficient reading 3 different books at the time is as opposed to one. How do y'all get through big TBRS?

I separate my reading into work reading and pleasure reading. Work reading may not always be fun, but I treat it as a job and just do it. Pleasure reading is what I am in the mood for and I don't have set targets other than reading for at least an hour a day. I think setting book targets for the year kinda distracts from the point of reading, for me anyways, which is the enjoyment of the story, however long that takes me to finish.

But I'd say you are probably reading 3 books at a time, which is a little hefty if it is not for school or anything because you want to go out and buy more books, perhaps because you aren't that interested in reading the books you already have. Maybe just try reading consistently and enjoying one book at a time, there's no rush. You might even get through them faster that way.
