Sustainable Productivity Strategies for Business Owners: Online Course Launched

John Briggs, author of Take Breaks, Work Better and CEO of Incite Tax, has launched an online course teaching sustainable productivity strategies, including the 3.3 Rule, to help service-based business owners, coaches, and consultants grow without burnout.

Draper, United States, September 26, 2026 /PressCable/ -- John Briggs, CPA, founder and CEO of Incite Tax, has launched an on-demand online course based on his book, "Take Breaks, Work Better," introducing the 3.3 Rule as a framework for measuring work by its impact rather than hours. The course offers a structured approach to focused work and deliberate recovery, helping business owners and teams improve productivity, address burnout, and build more sustainable work habits.

The launch comes as burnout and workload pressures continue to affect business leaders. According to DDI’s 2025 Global Leadership Forecast, 71 percent of leaders worldwide reported significantly higher stress since stepping into their current roles. Among those leaders, 54 percent were concerned about burnout, while only 30 percent said they had enough time to fulfill their responsibilities.

Against this backdrop, Take Breaks, Work Better applies the 3.3 Rule to help business owners structure their workdays. The method recommends up to three hours of focused work, followed by a recovery period equal to at least 30 percent of the time worked. The course extends this approach to scheduling, workload planning, individual work habits, and team practices.

The program features nine on-demand modules covering topics such as time habits, capacity, scheduling, implementation, and team adoption. Each module includes video instruction and a downloadable workbook, along with resources such as a time audit template, weekly tracking log, and team scorecard. Materials also address adapting the framework for different work environments, including remote teams.

The course highlights the connection between focused work, recovery, and work-life balance, presenting breaks as an integral part of the work process. This emphasis on deliberate recovery is also central to the approach presented in the original book.

Briggs, who is also an author and speaker, previously wrote Profit First for Microgyms, which adapts the Profit First cash-management strategy for gym owners. His work includes more than one hundred podcast appearances.

The course includes on-camera coaching from Briggs, the Take Breaks, Work Better Companion Workbook as a PDF download, and additional resources that build on the book’s framework. Available online for $297, the program gives participants immediate and lifetime access to all course materials.
