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?

My TBR list is broken down into 3 categories; owned, library & to buy. I have in mind a shortlist of the next few books I intend to read, but this is flexible depending on mood & circumstances (e.g. priorty to bookclub, next in series & books borrowed from a friend or library). I read one book at a time.

The owned TBR shelf contains ~160 books sorted into sections; series, fiction, short stories, non-fiction (sorted by subject e.g. travel, biographies, art).
