I think you hit the nail on the head about being okay to have more than one goal. It’d definitely be more effective to just increase donations through my day job.
An added layer on this is that I’ve enjoyed gaming since I was young, but have had conflicting feelings about it now that I’m older: Does this give me fulfillment and satisfaction anymore? It’s fun in the moment, yet it’s fleeting.
Hence why I’m exploring Twitch and donating any profit from it. In hopes that I can make an impact through gaming, and feel fulfilled from it. Perhaps I just need to start and see how I feel as I go...
As someone who returned to a game from childhood and then began to stream it, I recommend the strategy of “start and see how you feel”. Feeling obligated to do something regularly can suck the joy out of it if you aren’t careful, and it would be really sad for that to happen with, of all things, video games.
