Team Burnout Prevention Using The 3.3 Rule: Self-Paced Online Course Announced
Oct 8, 2026
Author and CPA John Briggs is teaching business owners and their teams how to reduce burnout risk and manage workloads more sustainably through his newly announced Take Breaks, Work Better video course.
Draper, United States, October 8, 2026 /PressCable/ -- With a new online course, John Briggs translates the 3.3 Rule from his book Take Breaks, Work Better into a self-paced program for business owners and their teams. The course includes nine video modules, practical exercises, and implementation tools designed to help participants rethink how focused work, recovery, and team capacity fit into the workday.

The program arrives as employee wellbeing continues to carry measurable business consequences. Gallup reported in 2026 that 27% of U.S. full-time employees very often or always felt burned out at work, while burnout-related turnover and lost productivity cost organizations worldwide an estimated $322 billion annually. For business owners, the issue is therefore not simply whether people are working hard, but whether that pace can be sustained.
Briggs approaches the problem through the 3.3 Rule: up to three hours of focused work followed by a break equal to roughly 30% of that time. “The 3.3 Rule isn’t just a theory, it's a practical system that can be implemented for success” he says, noting that the same operating system is used inside Incite Tax, the CPA firm he leads.
Rather than prescribing one schedule for everyone, the course teaches participants to account for differences between roles and workloads. One module focuses on what Briggs calls a “real break,” distinguishing recovery from activities that merely fill the time between work blocks.
Another module helps users examine their actual capacity. Participants map overlapping commitments to see where workloads become unrealistic, giving business owners a clearer basis for adjusting priorities before pressure compounds across a team.
The course also addresses situations where an employee appears to be struggling. Briggs advises leaders to “diagnose before you decide,” using workload and performance information before making personnel decisions based primarily on instinct.
Each module includes a companion worksheet, while additional resources include time-audit and tracking tools that business owners can adapt to their teams. Access is self-paced and available online without geographic restrictions.
Briggs, who is also CEO of Incite Tax, describes the wider goal as measuring the impact of work rather than simply the hours spent doing it. By applying a framework already used within his own firm, the course gives business owners a practical system for testing whether different work-and-recovery patterns can support more sustainable team performance.
