Whenever I hear of a game I might like, or buy one on a whim I add it to a list. I do something similar with books and movies. The purpose of the lists aren't to put pressure on myself, but to remind myself of all the things I'm interested in and to avoid the feeling of "I have nothing to play/read/watch". If I'm not enjoying something, I just won't finish it and I check it off the list so I know I tried. For me, deciding what to do with my limited time can give me analysis paralysis. I don't see the list and backlog as a chore, but more of an easy menu of options that I've already considered.
