Sean,
Congratulations on taking the plunge.
The biggest thing for me when I started doing football was the fact that suddenly I was faced with 22 players in motion at the same time and, visually, it was very chaotic.
I learned from other officials how to train my eyes to look for my 'keys' and my area. In each position, you will learn to look at certain things before the snap, at the snap and after the snap. Once you do that, it begins to make sense.
On our crew we use the expression, "We officiate the players, not the ball." Which means, we all have our jobs to do and rarely does it involve the ball.
Good luck and have fun!
