I'm starting to realize that I pushed myself too hard and reached too much success, too fast. I spent three years working 60+ hour weeks, and I was able to go from the kid fresh out of college to upper management. But I'm truly miserable. I'm expected to keep up the pace indefinitely, and while I know I did this to myself, I don't think I can do this. How can I cutback on my workload without losing the progress I've made in my career?

Delegation is your friend. Youre a Director, start assigning work to the managers and individual contributors that report to you. Set up daily/weekly checkpoints to monitor progress depending on the urgency and criticality of the tasks. Scale back on call volume once the team achieves steady state and is running fairly autonomously.

That’s rough! I’d say delegate tasks to people you manage and make sure your team is getting stuff done efficiently
