I like your enthusiasm. I too have a lot to accomplish, and a slightly different mind set on monetizing open source. As you said, you can add the "buy me a coffee" button to your GitHub, but that's about all there is. The monetized projects I have my eye on are very large, but encompass many smaller sources that would be useful to many developers. I plan to open source the smaller and more universal things, while keeping specifics closed source. Now if I were less burned out from my 9 to 5 I could get to writing some of what's in my head... Keep that drive, it's nice to hear younger developers with that mindset.
I mentioned Buy Me A Coffee because there ate lot of kind hearted people who are willing to make small or one-time donations for a project they find helpful. But most of the donation platforms are subscription based and that makes them refuse to make donation.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
There are a few potential options out there. Perhaps if used in combination, it could add up to be more substantial: monetizeyourcode.com
