Other times "best practices" have shown to be completely unsuitable

agree, and sometime close deadlines also don't let us follow.

It saves time in the long run - because even a trivial "one-off" app needs to work right, or you spend all day fixing it.
Do it properly, and it focuses you on what you are trying to achieve, and it works faster. And is a lot, lot easier to maintain later.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Although it's nice to aim for total compliance it's very difficult when maintaining system that have been built by many different developers over the years, each with his own version of 'best' practices.

I agree that you have to aim to the best practices with even the smallest project, but have to admit that sometimes it is just impossible - the complexity of request with the short time-frame do the job...
(I set up baselines to my team, about what the target is - the one does not meet these baselines have to explain (in written form, next to the code) why, in such way we all can learn...)

I suspect this survey escaped from Q&A, the quality bit fits right in there!

Dear Sirs,
would you please provide us with information to how we do best practices. Please give us extensive samples. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Can plz help implementing best practizes? Email me soltions. We have tried to best practices but I want to try best practise better.

I find KISS to be the best, most applicable, most efficient, most all round, most thought out practice.
An absolute favorite 
Other than that I make everything a singleton unless I can do with global variables

That's brutal!

I've actually worked on a project where global variables were the norm.
If the original coder had known about singletons that would've been the exact way he'd write his software...

I came to mobile from embedded C development. I love my singletons!! I have X-Manager singletons for everything
Else you just end up passing custom class objects around in scary ways

We actually try our best, but sometimes reality makes the moves...

Who ever attempted to compose that survey really needs to try harder and get someone to check the phrasing.

Evidently no "best practice" in terms of using a spelling and grammar checker.

You don't know how to best a practice?
I could tell you, but those who know don't speak and those who speak don't know.
