I 3D print stackable drawer-based organizers for these components, mounted on the wall. I'm using this system: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3125601

I've tried many different strategies over the years, but this one fits me better than any other because it's the most flexible and extendable. I have half of a wall in my lab covered with them now.

I color-code the drawers to indicate general type (capacitor, resistor, inductor, IC, etc.), and sort them in the drawers according to value (for passive components) and part # (for active ones).

For large parts, I use commercial parts drawers in a similar fashion.
