It may take a few days to get used to, but just start by learning the basic movement commands (char up/down, char left/right, scroll page up/down, i-search backwards/forwards) and navigation commands (find file, switch buffer, split window) down and you have a decent baseline start with, then just gradually learn more commands afterwards. It's really not that difficult... I recommend the basic internal tutorial, just press "Control+h" and then "t". Stop thinking and just start now!
