I've been doing the nice plastic trays from fs.com as well as a sharpie on
the side (bidi, mm, sm, distance, etc)

If you buy your SFPs from fs.com, they come in a nice organizer -- and
if you buy less than a tray full, you still get a tray.
I keep spares in the trays, labeled on the outside -- I then put the
trays in a cheap toolbox / fishing tackle box, and list what's in each
one in a Google spreadsheet.

Whenever I'm actually at the cage / rack and have a few minutes I
compare the spreadsheet to reality, and update accordingly (SFPs, and
XFPs in particular evaporate over time...)

Any recommendations to keep track of different SFP and keep them
organized? Any storage boxes / trays designed for SFPs?

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
