I use a binder with those clear plastic sheets with compartments, meant for card collecting, for my small components, and assortment boxes, with removable compartments, for the rest.
The binder is great! Tons and tons of small compartments (or fewer big ones) with a huge selection og organization accessories, in very little space. Don’t turn it upside down, though. I put electrical tape over the openings of the compartments, to avoid that catastrophe.

















Think of a protocol like a language; if you just blurt out sounds no one will understands, but if you make sounds that correspond to an already agreed upon meaning, it becomes communications.
The same thing is true for sending 1s and 0s; they are meaningless unless the other end understands them and a protocol is “the agreement” both ends use to communicate.
