As I sat in my office late one night, staring at the clock ticking past 9 PM, I realized something had to change. Like many business owners and professionals, I was trapped in a cycle of long hours and diminishing returns. The traditional 9-to-5 workday, or more accurately the 6 AM to 9 PM grind, was taking its toll on my productivity, health, and happiness. This realization led me on a journey to uncover a better way of working - one that could boost productivity while actually reducing hours spent at the desk. Through extensive research and experimentation, I developed what I call the 3.3 Rule. This simple yet powerful approach has the potential to transform how we work and live.
