Running as non-admin is not as hard as I imagine

As a security tester, we need to ensure that our product works under minimal privilege.  Yes, test machines are set up to test with minimal privilege, but my day-to-day email machine is set up with admin privilege.  Although it is a threat to run under admin, it was more threatening to inflict myself with the hassles of running as non-admin.  As an extremely paranoid person, I have so many novice questions: Do I need to reboot all the time if I need admin privilege?  Will my apps continue to function properly?  Will I get blue screen for no reasons?
