Consistency is key for clarity
passives to power rails should be vertical
i.e. i2c pullups and decoupling capacitors
schematics should follow a logical left to right flow
input on the left, output on the right
higher electrical potential (voltage) rails should be above lower voltage rails
signal passives should be horizontal.
i.e. shunt resistors
Show Parameters for components
it should be obvious which parameter corresponds to which component based on proximity.
minimize corners in schematic wires when possible
components should be placed in the schematic near components they will be near in the layout when sensible
notably, decoupling capacitors should be placed in the schem near the IC they’re decoupling rather than say off on a random sheet.

minimize length in schematic wires when sensible
do not use excessive hierarchy
do not have a bunch of nested schematic sheets, it makes things confusing
