Label your wiring before you close the box

I closed up a 3-way, then realized I had no idea which internal lead went where when a solder joint failed later. Now I label every wire and photograph the inside before the back goes on.

Learn from my pain.

Photograph the inside. Such an obvious tip that everyone learns the hard way once.
