TL;DR: I use ratings as a cataloging tool to highlight the items in my libraries I’m most likely to revisit and recommend.

I am unqualified to describe a work of art by assigning it a numeric grade. I think not many things can be accurately described that way, but I use a numeric grade or rating in 📋 Los Logs. This has served overall as a visual enjoyment indicator and over the years has made browsing and referencing books, movies and albums libraries easier for me.

So, this is personal and represents only how much I liked or enjoyed a piece and how likely I am to recommend it. 

A detailed description of the “rating system” as follows:

Favorited

Treasured

Loved

Cherished

Enjoyed

Liked

Tolerated

Ignored

Disregarded

Despised
