A lot of guys would simply match colors without regard for terminating the pairs properly
Step 1), strip off 12” of sheathing
Step 2) straighten out those annoyingly twisted wires so you can see them
Step 3) don’t waste any of that thin wire. Move to the end of the straightened foot of tiny wires and punch down in order.

Oh no, Doc. Not at all right. You are asking for crosstalk and next issues.
Always leave as much twist as possible and never more than than 3/8" or so untwisted. If you're doing an RJ45 then yes you expose more wire to push into the connector but do not strip 1' of the sheathing off. Maybe 3" or so. The end of the sheathing should be able to be pushed into the exposed end of the RJ45 connector.
For a punchdown on a patch panel strip about 3/4" of the sheathing off at most. Then be sure that no more than 3/8" of the cables are untwisted.
