  there are plenty of tutorials to get you started, but most importantly you can run tmux without having learned any of it. start it and continue working as if it wasn't there. then read or learn one thing or two about it, and use only that. the first thing to learn is how to attach to an existing session. that alone can be useful. if you scroll a lot on your terminals, you'll want to learn scrolling in tmux. if you use tabs or multiple windows, you' want to learn how create and switch windows in tmux. beyond that every feature in tmux is additional to your regular terminal use so you can pick and choose the features you want to learn as you go along and otherwise continue without changing the way you work. i have used tmux for a decade and i am still learning new stuff, like how to effectively use split windows.
