Because of this consistency, web designers have adopted pixels over points and other...

The No. 1 Habit of Highly Creative People →
cameronmoll:
While the real number one habit of highly creative people is whatever works for them and only them (see this article), I can argue in favor of Leo Babauta’s top creative habit:
