I live in an area where tons of data is missing. I mean the whole areas with no street addresses, missing streets, missing bike routes, etc.

Is there a guide or special tools for preparing to make massive edits like this? Is there a particular work flow that people use or resources? How do I even get started?

You don't have to try to use something as complicated as the full HOT style tasking manager. For personal projects something like SimpleTaskManager 1 or the Divide and Map Now 2 project can make this simple for smaller areas.
