I use categories, looks caotic but is not but could be iimproved for Valve programmers in very aspects.
Just assign one or two or more categories to a game.

For example these are some of my categories:

@Excellent
@Good
@Bad
Currently Playing
To play soon
Simulators
Multiplayer
Co-Op

A game could be Multiplayer, also Co-Op, and also @Good and be categorized as To Play Soon.
If I already started to play the game actively I change the categorie to Currently Playing just unchecking To Play Soon and checking to Currently Playing.

Note: I use the special character @ to be sure that those categories are the the beginning of the list.

Easy, delete that account and start a new one with only the games you want to play in it :P

LOL, no but there is a way of setting you're own categories when you right click a games title I believe.

Categories or install the ones you want to play and just sort by installed.

Categories works quite well. Add a category to each game you want to play.
Then have the list sorted by categories. Close everything except the 'want to play'-category and you've got what you want.

That's more or less how I use it, with various categories it really helps.

You can add them to your favorites, this then should make a category with the games you want to Play.

When you highlight a game in list mode, on the right han side you'll have a small list of links, the lowest one should open up a popup to add or remove a category to the game, you'll even be able to make them up for yourself...

there's no 'easy' way to do it honestly. You can set up categories by right clicking a game and adding new categories or adding the game to your existing ones. But you still have to go game by game to set this all up. For a reference my categories are:
Favorites
Active
Curious
Finished
Fun Unfinished
Incomplete
Meh
Ok
Unplayed
"My Games" (the default dump space for everything new)

Sadly, unless Steam learns how to read our minds, we have to expend some effort on it... :(

If you're willing to take the time to learn it, Depressurizer is a popular choice. It doesn't know what you like, but you do, so the trick is to figure out how to describe the sort of games you want to play, in a way it can understand. :)

For example, if you love Early Access + Zombies + Survival + Open World, it could put all your games with those tags in a category "Play me next!" Then you get DayZ, Miscreated and 1000 other piece of greenlight garbage to choose from. :)

Hmmm, sorry I missed this question...

Depressurizer isn't a browser thing, it's a separate program you run, so you don't need tampermonkey for it. I use it to put all the visual novels in a category, which helps when I want to feel bad about buying things I can't remember to play... :)

I recently spent about 20 minutes sorting my steam library into categories and even though some of the categories are extremely broad, I feel a lot less anxiety about the chaos.

EARLY ACCESS
FPS / Action / RPG
Pinball / Board & Card Games
Racing / Driving
Simulators
Sports
Tycoon / Management / Strategy
GAMES (the default for anything new until it's categorized)

The Early Access games in my library get put in both EARLY ACCESS and the appropriate category.

A couple of the categories are bursting at the seams with games, but it's much better than it was before and I don't feel the need to sub-categorize any more.
