Chu put himself through an intensive work regimen with the discipline of a soldier, hitting the gym at six every morning and shutting himself up in his room two hours later to focus fully on his translating. After lunch, he would take a short nap and get up to continue his labors, working until his 10 p.m. bedtime.
朱學恆拿出軍人子弟的精神，為自己訂定嚴格的時間表，確實執行。每天早上 6 點起床後立刻到健身房報到，兩小時後回家關在房間裡全神貫注翻譯；中午用過午餐後，稍微午睡休息又立刻爬起來繼續翻譯，直到晚上 10 點上床就寢。
