I currently mentally divide my games collection to paid games and Game Pass games.
While I concentrate on paid games, I leave the Game Pass games in the background, though occasionally I want a break from grinding the same game or want to try some new day 1 game on GP.
When I have finished the latest paid games, I continue working on my infinite backlog or start new games (that I probably wouldn't have otherwise bought) on Game Pass.
It's sometimes relaxing to pick some indie games that can be completed fast or are otherwise fascinating. If they suck after trying, they can be easily ignored and I can jump to some other game. No need to force myself playing games that are not worth my limited time. With paid games, I'd be more inclined to finish them, even if I don't like them that much.
This way I have something always to play, even though there may be long pauses between new games that I want to buy, like right now.
I don't stress about finishing Game Pass games before they are taken out of the service. If it is so good game that I want to finish it, then I can buy it through the Game Pass for cheaper or from some other sale.
Currently I'm waiting for Valhalla DLC and in the meantime I'm primarily playing Rage 2, that got added to the Game Pass after the Zenimax/Bethesda-deal.
