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...)

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the first place.
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.
