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 try to keep my TBR under 10 (different to my wish list which is books I want to read but don't have yet). If it goes over 10 I feel like I am just collecting books for the sake of it, which is not my hobby - I like reading, and keep my TBR short to make the best use of my time.

I find if my TBR gets long, and I get impulsive, I am really just building a list of dnf books. Every time I get impulsive, I just don't enjoy a lot of them.

I currently have the Wool Trilogy, and two early Xmas gifts to read. I am a little apprehensive of those, but want to give them a good go before I have another 'easy read'.

I also read a lot, and read fast, so that helps too.
