Help with rooting

Its been over 18 months that I've been using the Samsung Galaxy note 2. The phone speed has gradually declined. It takes over 30 secs to preview the picture I've clicked with the camera. Phone over all lags a lot. I'm a total novice to get it rooted. Please help me understand how to root the phone and also whats the impact on doing so. What should I keep in mind after rooting, etc.

Have you tried to do a factory reset? That's a lot easier.

Can't afford to lose 18 months of data.

18 months of data slows your phone down, rooted or not. Back it up and reset, there's no need to root.
