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 make multiple lists on paper. Some of it is pretty logical, like making a list for nonfiction and another for fiction. But the fiction subcategories are chaotic - I make lists for all kinds of things. The top books I want to first, mini lists divided into random little categories like "funny sci fi," long books to read when I have time over a holiday weekend, short/light/easy books for when I'm tired....there's overlap between the lists so it just ends up being a mess. But it's fun!
