Easy answer - my XDR display. The 32" inch size makes it a productivity workhorse, and the quality of the screen is unlike anything I've ever seen, making it an absolute joy to design on.

The freedom to do what I want, when I want is priceless. I can be insanely flexible, adjust things on the fly, and not have to account for how it might the rest of the team. As for the most frustrating? It has to be the fact I can rarely ever take a break, let alone a vacation. Sick? Too bad. Burnt out? Oh well. Not feeling creative today? Get it together. The constant feeling of having to show up everyday, given the workload on my plate, can definitely feel overwhelming at times.

I'm not an early riser. I wake up around 8am, and I usually run out to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast before finally settling down at my desk by 10am.I'll work for a few hours, eat lunch, and spend another few hours finishing work. After that, it's family time. I have 3 little girls. I like taking them out to eat at the Chilis outside our neighborhood, so we do that quite often. I usually end the night with about an hour of video games with some friends and some light reading.

Practice, practice, practice. Working for agencies in the past, it was good experience as far as context switching goes, though Designjoy is on a much greater scale than what I previously experienced. At this point, it just feels natural, and keeps things interesting. I actually really enjoy it.
