Internal reflections upon internal gears

Hello

I'm thinking to go internally geared. But no doctor wishes to indulge me, saying the human body would expel the cogs naturally over time.

So I'm doing what can't be done to me to my bicycle(s)

The problem I'm having is really not really technical but has more to do with having a brain that doesn't grasp basic concepts, so can someone explain to me exactly how I'll determine what cog sizes to use

If I have a 3 speed nexus hub, what is a good starting point for front and rear teeth? Are there any unwritten rules within the IG world? On my singlespeeds I often run 36x19, and I like that for most stuff, but I'd like to spin out less.

Help me or I will drink heavily and brutally.
 
Sheldon Brown is a place to start, but he usually takes hills into account, and you/we are not familiar with that concept..
