I found that the sooner you ditch 'human intuition' in learning maths/physiscs the better you will be at it
Maybe you would call that "a mathematician's/physicist's intuition", rather than "human"?
The best physicists I know don’t sit down and calculate that often. They rather play with “cartoon pictures” to figure out what problems are interesting and what their solution might look like, and only throw math at the most promising of these problems.
