"I've been trying to stay still and not premeditate too much, like I have in the past," Munro said.
"I'm trying to back my offside game. In the past couple of years I've been looking legside. I have been working on it with [Auckland coach] Mark O'Donnell, trying to hold my shape and hit through the offside.
"Then if they do come straight at me, my natural thing is to hit over cow [corner] and square leg."
It's worked a treat this season, which takes the natural thought processes to the next level.
Where does he sit in the international reckoning?
Munro averages an impressive 48.36 in 39 first-class games, with nine 100s and a rate of passing 50 better than every second innings.
He has played just one test, at Port Elizabeth early in 2013, taking two wickets and making 0 and 15. There's been no second chance, yet.
He still harbours ambitions and there is likely to be a spot opening at No 5 in the order at the end of this summer, when captain Brendon McCullum takes his anticipated retirement.
There have been 12 ODIs, averaging 27.11, and 18 T20s.
At home this season, New Zealand have 11 ODIs against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia, and five T20s, against the first two countries.
In April, the World T20 is in India. You would imagine Munro's name must be in the frame. After all he played in New Zealand's most recent ODI series in South Africa in August.
He insists he's not giving international cricket a thought. His mind is on Auckland and, although he didn't say it in as many words, his view appears to be that one good thing can lead on to another.
"To be honest I'm not even looking at any New Zealand selection.
"I'm just trying to enjoy playing for Auckland like I am this year and if it [a national callup] comes then so be it."
He pointed out his New Zealand selections have come either through injury or a rest period for another player.
Munro simply aims to keep doing what he has been for Auckland and trust that's enough to have him in the national mix.
As for this weekend, he's sure if Auckland can play up to their best, they'll be hard to beat.
They play top qualifiers Otago tonight. Win that and it's on to Sunday's final against either Canterbury or Otago.
"Otago are going really well and obviously [Hamish] Rutherford and [Jimmy] Neesham have strengthened their squad.
"But if we can play anywhere near our potential I don't think anyone can come close to us."
