> I also try not to play more than a handful of games at a time. The paradox of choice is real.
In general I'm like this, but I also have games that are exclusions to the rule that I pop back around to from time to time, like the save I have in Factorio that I come back to and tinker with now and then (I keep a text file around with my general to-do list so I don't spend an hour running around the base trying to remember what the hell I was doing, while marveling at various bits of kludged together spaghetti)
As for books, I'm generally working through at least 3 at a time: One on audible, for commutes, one on my kindle, and one in print. I try to keep the kindle/print books varied so I switch between whichever strikes my fancy at the moment.
Yeah I compartmentalize exceptions like these as well. Like I don't count "ongoing coop games with friends" or "long term games" (like your Factorio save, or something like League of Legends) towards my broader "What I'm currently playing" count.
