I’m wondering whether you’re expecting some math to be effortless when you’re actually still at the stage of trying one thing and another, and need to be less focused on how you want the process to feel.
Effortless, no; however, some of it is sufficiently familiar by now that I don’t think there is additional value in rehearsing the same material. (Example: I first encountered derivatives on Khan Academy, before they officially taught them to us; then in 11th grade as an intro to calculus; then on several tests and exams; then in freshman year of college. I don’t think I need to be given the intuition on derivatives one more time, and if I took a test in derivatives I’d ace it without much effort.) I’m not expecting new notions to be very easy to learn—moderately challenging and definitely not impossible, but not easy.
