John Briggs, CPA and CEO of Incite Tax, has launched an on-demand course based on the principles outlined in his book Take Breaks, Work Better, introducing the 3.3 Rule as a structured framework for improving productivity and reducing burnout among business owners and their teams. The self-paced program is available online at $297 and covers nine modules combining video instruction with practical planning tools developed through Briggs's own experience running an accounting firm.

The launch comes as burnout remains a documented challenge for business owners. According to Founder Reports, 34.4% of entrepreneurs have faced burnout. Long hours and a singular focus on work are major contributing factors, as juggling operational pressure makes it difficult to disconnect. As organizations look for structured ways to improve performance without extending working hours, interest in frameworks that build deliberate recovery into the workday has grown steadily. Research in occupational psychology has consistently found that sustainable output is more closely tied to how work is structured than to the total number of hours logged.
The course covers nine on-demand modules, moving from an evaluation of current work habits through capacity measurement, scheduling, and day-to-day implementation of the 3.3 Rule. The curriculum addresses how the framework applies across different roles and team structures, with content covering individual productivity, workload planning, and recovery strategies alongside modules dedicated to organizational rollout, including pilot implementation, adoption tracking, and structuring remote work environments. Each module includes a downloadable workbook with supporting resources such as a time audit template, weekly tracking log, and team scorecard. The course provides immediate access upon enrollment and remains available to participants on an ongoing basis.
"Most business owners are measuring the wrong thing," said Briggs. "When you shift from tracking hours to measuring impact, the entire operating model changes. The 3.3 Rule gives teams a concrete way to do that without overhauling everything at once."
Beyond individual use, the course also addresses how organizations can introduce the framework across teams. Modules on common adoption challenges, supporting team members who struggle with the transition, and building intentional structures for distributed or remote environments make the program applicable to businesses at different stages of implementation.
