Pro tip: labeling your wire bundles before you pull them through a finished wall

I had to replace a faulty motion sensor in a finished basement last week, and the old wires were all the same color with no tags. It took me almost 45 minutes just to trace which wire went back to the panel because I had to keep checking continuity. What's your go-to method for labeling wires during an install to avoid this headache later?
