Just Starting

I am just starting to learn how to play chess.  I joined chess.com and discovered a whole new world!!  I mean...where do I start?  do I develop my own schedule?  Which is more beneficial the tactical or the mentor...the list of options is so very long. I like options, but I am lost.  A little guidance or suggestions about length of time each day, or a set of different programs...I'm overwhelmed with the vast array of resources.  Any suggestions?
