Waist-deep in an anime backlog

It's okay, you don't have to be ashamed to admit it.  You're addicted to anime...and that's okay.  If you take care of your family, do your job/school work and wrap up your daily chores, you can take part in as much anime as you want.  You're not hurting anyone or yourself by watching, and damnit, you've earned the right to enjoy your free time!

Therein lies the rub, my friends.  You have tons of anime that you want to watch, but not enough time to watch it all.  Seems like a first world problem, doesn't it?  Not having enough free time to watch the anime you want to?  Still, it can be pretty annoying to know that you have all that great content sitting around and not enough time to take it all in.

The real problem comes from the anime industry itself, and it's actually not a problem at all.  While you may be working hard to get to that time off, the anime industry continues on.  Every week new content is put out, whether it be outside of Japan or in the country of origin.  The anime industry moves forward, and new content is never-ending.  Of course, you find yourself interested in some of that new content, and that just makes things even worse!

Welcome to your anime backlog.  That pile of anime, be it physical or digital, is staring you back in the face.  It's waiting for you to get back into it, but that new stuff just keeps swinging by and adding itself to the pile.  Before you know it, you're behind in a handful of series an you don't know how you're going to catch yourself up!  Are you in this situation with anime?
