Cable labels can save the day! I've used the lables that roll around the cable, they come 0-9 and A-Z.

This is a link to the cloth labels 2363 uses. They are easier to wrap around the wire and stay unlike labels from a label maker(they fall off in a day).

We use the wrap-around wire markers with NEMA colors (blank) and then write the number or voltage needed for the wire.
Also, one of the keys to good wiring is the right material to mount the electronics on. The other pictures show an aluminum bellypan with large spaces in it for ease of using zipties. We ended up using a perforated polycarbonate from AndyMark.

And of course no wiring job is complete without 1000+ zipties.
