This is actually quite similar to proof writing in math, that many novices struggle with. One's becoming decent at proof-writing typically involves internalising logical underpinnings that allow translating theory into convincing arguments. Also known as mathematical maturity.
I'll have to check this out. I'm currently busy with a module on Statics, and it's easily the most challenging topic I've studied so far. I've found that it is not so much the math that is challenging (a subject like Math Analysis has more challenging math, for instance, IMO), but that there are so many different types of problems for every topic. You really do need to have a very thorough understanding of the topic, the types of problems you are likely to come across, and the reasoning behind the solutions. I suspect it is also a difficult subject to teach, as I find that instructors will sometimes fail to highlight the importance of critical steps simply because they're already so obvious to them (ex. Vector operations make a lot more sense once you understand the importance of the unit vector, yet it is often barely given a cursory mention in lectures/textbooks/videos.).

Forever
Awesome as always
Would love one for maths
Bro please do the same with Mathematics
Don't know if you still need that but on the website he's got many articles on math specifically.
Do you read minds!?
