Haruki Murakami
Running
When Haruki Murakami began to write novels, he always set himself a rigorous schedule.
Haruki Murakami's schedule
Comb through this table:
1. Get up at four o'clock every morning, make coffee and eat early;
2. Start writing at five o'clock, and end at ten o'clock, the daily hard task is ten pages of manuscript paper, about four thousand words;
3. Start exercising for an hour at 10 o'clock, running or swimming;

6. Take a nap for half an hour at 1:00 p.m. and put on some classical music;
7. From 1:30 to 5:00 p.m., free time, usually buy records, listen to music, free activities;
8. From five to six o'clock, prepare dinner, take a small sip of beer, listen to the opera and cook;
9. From six o'clock to nine o'clock, relaxation time, generally reading and listening to music;
10. Go to bed at nine.
Let's analyze:
Haruki Murakami is a famous Japanese writer who has written many books and is a prolific writer. Imagine that he must have been writing all day, even all night long.
After reading this schedule, I found that his life seemed very leisurely, and his sleep time was seven and a half hours, which was longer than the average person's sleep.
So why?
There are two secrets:
The first is to get up early and work. Completing the day's tasks in one go is important.
The second is to persist in sports. Haruki Murakami has always insisted on long-distance running and often participates in marathons.
Now, save this blank table and make a schedule for yourself.
