Why are you working 60-70 hours per week? This is probably (far) too much, and probably a big part of the problem, wove you say you feel burnt out, and you exhibit relevant symptoms. Could you hire someone and delegate 40 hours’ worth of work to them? Or go further: could you move the business to a structure where you’re only working ~4 hours a week? |

It’s been a long term (20 year) project, but now I pretty much only do a smaller number of key tasks and have plenty of time to think, cook, walk, read, make art, listen to music, be with my family or be by myself. And sleep.
The best part is that at an age when I should be slowing down, I feel mentally energized. I make good decisions, solve interesting puzzles, write thoughtful letters. I’ve filed half a dozen patents in the last couple of years.
Life brings plenty of problems. If you’re too worn out to deal with them effectively, they will grind you to dust. Use your money to buy yourself time.
