How to handle the growing list : "currently playing"?

Lately my list of "games I'm currently playing" have been growing. Ok, there's only 10 of them, but still, that's 10 games I really wanna play through (or just play a lot and become good at) but aint got time for...
Some years ago I had a motto : not to acquire any new games before I finnished the one I was currently playing.. that motto dimminished as time went, and today.. I just wanna play a lot of cool games! 
 
So.. do you have any tips for me? What should I do in order to be able to handle this growing pile of unfinished games? .. 
And with the criteria of not ruining my studies or my social life :P (although my social life revolves around a lot of gaming) 
 
Should I try to reinsert my old motto in my present life? :S
 
(Just FYI, I saw different posts around the subject of having to many games to play - with questions of what games you would play first... that is not my question!)

I'd suggest making time to beat those games. That's what I'm doing.

How do you play so many games concurrently? It's like reading five books at the same time. They all get muddled up.
 
I take a two week break from a game, I can't even remember the controls. I feel like I need to play the tutorial again. Most of the time I just delete my save and start over. I can't imagine playing over two games concurrently.

Actually, I've seen that in some games, like Shining Force III and Final Fantasy XIII. Other times, though, viewing a cutscene usually jogs my memory.
 

I am a chronic game buyer. I can never keep myself from buying more no matter how many incomplete games I already have. While it's always a good idea to stop yourself from spending more money than is reasonable, I've also come to realize over the years that, you know what? Sometimes it's okay not to finish a game if you want to play something else. Why force yourself? Games aren't supposed to be work. They're supposed to be fun. So do what's fun: play something else.

I say go after the games that will take you the least amount of time to actually complete. If you really are looking to complete games then be sure to avoid, for now, ones that are open ended. You know, sports games, MMOs, etc.

Yeah. Ryan and Jeff mentioned a similar problem on the Bombcast when it comes to not being able to return to games after having left them for a while, so I think it's a pretty widespread issue. They were talking about how games should have a "Last Time On..." feature. The feature would apparently activate if the game detects that you've been away for more than two weeks or whatever. It would recap story, controls, and what you're supposed to be doing. I think that's an astonishingly good idea. 
 
But I admire you for your ability to apply yourself. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. You are the video game king. :) "

" I can't really recall when they bombcasted about that, was that kinda recently?"
