How do you find your peak creativity time of day?
Environment is a big consideration for me. Good lighting, comfortable setting, away from email/ text distractions. I find I'm often more creative away from my desk... could be in a comfortable chair by the fireplace, on a walk, or in a coffee shop with a nice vibe. Finally, tools really help, such as a nice paper and pencils, or a large whiteboard with lots of colored markers just calling out to be drawn with.

What's the best way to choose fidelity for UX wireframes?
The fidelity of the mockup should represent the fidelity of the thinking. For example, when early in the design process, with the goal of communicating possible design directions and flows, use low fidelity wireframes (grayscale, lines and boxes and placeholder text). This supports the right type of conversation around the concept and overall product value for the target audience. Two issues with going high fidelity too early: 1/ Focus goes too quickly to pixels before aligning on experience. 2/ Beautiful pixels can obfuscate a bad idea. Wireframes are a way better way to get a sense for if this flow and direction makes sense.
