Each game is only in one collection at the time. I also use Favourites to mark the games I plan to play -- a subset of Not Played.
How do you do it? Do you use external tools, or just rely on built-in categories and search function in Steam?

Otherwise, I am on an legacy genre category system that I started years ago, which totally got out of hand and by now is more cumbersome then helpful. Does anyone know how to quickly wipe all categorization in Steam to start fresh?
I like your idea of sorting them after what you actually still plan to play.

Favourites - real favourites
Playing now - trying to keep only those I plan to play in the coming 2-3 months
Installed - the name says it. Handy when you want to play something else but now download it
New - every game goes here by default
Finished - not planning to come back to the game, but it can also be a favourite, so...
Uncategorized (built-in Steam category, always back down in the list) - doesn't run on Linux
I also keep an .odt list of games to track all games (steam and non-steam, how much I paid, when I bought it, 100% achieved or not, how much games (excluding DLCs) I have).

Half of the time I would be looking at "Bought in 2015" and wonder what was I thinking at the time.
- Favourites: Real favourites or games that I play often.
- Completed: Completed games
- Completed Wine: Completed games played under Wine/Proton
- Linux: Native games to play.
- Wine: Windows games to play.
- Didn't like: As stated.
- Co/op games: As stated.
And I will be borrowing from you the Garbage section for games I don't even know why they are in my library :D

I do something similar, but in an .odb file. I mostly have it as title and store weather or not I've played it. I keep it to make sure I don't already own a game, particularly on steam since I've gotten a lot of odd games via bundles and tend not to use it very much. I haven't used it in a while as my purchasing had slowed way down, especially bundles.
Some of your all's organizational accumen are seriously impressive.

So all the Half-Life games (HL1, HL2, Team Fortress, CS, Day of Defeat etc.) are all under Half-Life. Tomb-Raider games are, well, you know.
Unfortunately, we cant delete beta/test/alpha's from our library, so they get their own section and hidden from sight.
Still got many singular games without a category, but don't know how to handle that yet.
I only want my game in my list 1 time. So a F2P section or horror won't work because that means a game might appear twice in the list and that is just wrong.
