  1. Keep your cells a fixed height to aid power/ground routing.
  2. Keep poly as SHORT as possible. Keep poly SIMPLE (i.e. no bends).
  3. Use extra contacts/vias if there is space.
  4. Add ntap/ptap cells to most cells (we seem to need it for LVS to work...).
  5. M1 is "mostly" horizontal, M2 vertical, M3 horizontal, etc.
