if you actually have the kits for all those things then “no problem”. If not … 
Something I’ve noticed since my stash has grown to a whopping thirty kits or so with AM parts for some, is that the excitement isn’t quite what it used to be. Back when I was trying to raise a family and pursue a career I was always broke, the bills were paid and food was in the cupboard but any funds beyond that went for family, so the infrequent model purchase was a thrill, now I’m able to buy what I want when I want and it’s exciting when a new model is available of an AFV I’ve always dreamed of but now it’s more like I’m just building inventory for the project I’ve taken on. It seems the thrill is in the chase, lusting for something you can’t conceivably have makes it more alluring.

I’m starting to move unbuilt kits of my stash to copy paper boxes, then into the closet to make more space for adding more to the stash…
But Matt; that’s hoarder level stuff. LOL.

I seriously need a full day to start reorganizing the stash, most likely relocate everything to the closet and get rid of some of the stuff that’s currently wasting space in it.

I seriously need a week to reorganize my stash. If I don’t get lost. Everything is haphazard and should be by Axis/Allies/kit manufacturer. And there’s now a second aisle!
Sorting everything by era (WW2, Cold War, Modern), then alphabetically by manufacturer and thirdly, by type (MBT, IFV/APC, Artillery, Soft skinned, etc…).

Don’t sort the boxes.
Boxes get stacked by size, which usually also means ‘by manufacturer’.
This avoids wasting valuable storage space.
Assign a number, call it id-nr, to each kit, write with a Sharpie on the box
or tape a white paper to the box to write on.
Keep a register sorted on the ID-nr, MS Excel is one way.
Do the sorting and searching in the register. Let the register contain
a storage index. Find the kit in the register, note the shelf/cabinet/box code and
whether the kit box is visible or hidden behind other kits and go find it.
Whenever a kit is moved you need to update the register (some kits in my stash
are “temporarily mislaid”, the storage code and the current location doesn’t match …).
Note all the aftermarket, conversion sets and other information about the kit in the register,
aftermarket cen be either ‘already purchased’ or ‘need to be found’.
If you have a plan for that kit then note it in the register, for instance:
Destined for xyz-diorama together with kit nr, nr and nr).

Just fess up. You live in a model shop and sleep in the isles. Ah the smell of sprue in the morning…

No. I do not sleep in a hobby shop. though I wish I’d sleep in a gun store, which at times in my military career, I’ve slept in the arms room, guarding the weapons during FTXs; but that’s a story for another time.
But I do need to rearrange the hobby room; can’t walk two steps without tripping on a kit box or some random piece of milsurp that I have collected over the years.

AM stuff purchases are a bit different than styrene kits ones, as there are made in little quantity and their manufacturer can suddenly stop their activity before you get one of their kit if you wait to long to buy them.
There are much more AM manufacturer brands who have stopped their business than styrene kit brands.
You only make strategic purchases ! 
So, in my mind you do not have any “problem”.
