Hey folks, stop raiding your wife's kitchen; go to your local store 
(Walmart is where I went) and look in the sports dept for tackle 
boxes.  You're likely to find similar clear plastic organizer boxes 
for the home shop.  I have several of them to hold and organize small 
parts, hardware, electronic components, etal.

Just identify each part, group similar sizes and place them in 
separate compartments.  Then as you go methodically thru the 
installation manual as you build - it will be much easier to find the 
proper part to use.

I have separate boxes reserved for specific kits (but then I am a 
"professional" kit builder).

BTW I keep all the extra parts so later if building the same kit and 
a part is missing I can just reach into my spare parts to replace the 
missing part (also nice when that sm part is lost in the carpet).

Be sure to write Ron if a step seems confusing as he depends on your 
feedback to improve the manuals.  One reaches a limit where self 
proof reading is effective <been there>
