Good tip! I recently attended some workshops where they talked about boring "organizing." But when I listened, I remembered of how I was so unorganized, didn't document all my sources nor with dates and many, many years later, it's bothering me. So the workshop on organizing would've come in handy for me had I known it back then. But i was old school, i spent about a week reading about genealogy and how to go about doing them before I actually started. I learned about how to write names, and dates and then read about the countries where my ancestors were from in order to understand a lot and know what to expect. Eventually I learned Portuguese as well which of course genealogy motivated me. That was about 23 years ago and I'm glad I went through that.
Now, I'm very anal with documenting all my sources to where it takes me awhile to enter information for one person. But well worth it!
