How to practice

Murakami himself says the secret is repetition — the same routine, every day.

You don't need to wake at 4 AM: copy the structure (main task + exercise + rest).

FAQ

Do I need to wake at 4 AM like Murakami?

He ties physical discipline to the discipline of writing. Exercise and focus reinforce each other.
