Since I have thousands of games, as soon as I get a new game that I actually am interested in playing, I'll put it in a category on Steam called "Play Next" which acts as my "True" library since it's a lot more digestible. If a game doesn't interest me right away I'll usually remove it.

I'll still remove games that I'm fairly certain I won't enjoy, but I tend to at least want to give everything a chance if it looks even remotely interesting, which means my library still grows pretty quickly. I was also a little late to do anything to prioritize, plus my library is spread over multiple storefronts and that means I needed some other solution for cataloguing them. I went with HowLongtoBeat, which let me sort everything pretty effectively and also includes a convenient random button to help pick out what to play next and encourage me to try and write off things I might not have tried playing if not for an external influence telling me to. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I just order my games by last used, so the more interested in a game I am the higher it is, and a game I never play gets further and further away. I can browse down the list for games I forgot about and if I play it for a moment it goes back to the top.

The problem with that is that so many of my games have just never been played at all, so "last used" isn't a record of how long it's been since I played a game so much as it's a record of how long I've had a game without touching it. Toss in things being split across multiple libraries so I can't order it between them, and I just couldn't keep track.
