Start by throwing out anything that you haven't used in the past year and don't honestly see yourself using any time soon. Be ruthless. The more you toss the less you have to organize. Next purchase ten large plastic tote boxes with lids. Label the plastic boxes and begin separating items into the boxes. Labels might include such things as Garden Tools, Car Repair, Plumbing Parts, etc. Shelves are easy to put up and can hold lots of small items. Purchase shoebox-sized plastic boxes and label them for holding small items such as nails, screws, sandpaper, screwdrivers, etc. Things like shovels, brooms and rakes can be hung on the wall with special clasps made just for such a purpose that you can find in your local hardware store.
