Brad Frost, one of the original proponents of responsive design, has written a great article on the "7 Habits of Highly Effective Media Queries".

  1. Let content determine breakpoints
  2. Treat layout as an enhancement
  3. Use major and minor breakpoints
  4. Use relative units
  5. Go beyond width
  6. Use media queries for conditional loading
  7. Don't go overboard

Got you wondering? Read Brad's full article.

Oh, and if you haven't read Steven Covey's original "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" book, it's a valuable read too, and might just change the way you relate to others and the world around you.
