  1. Logic/Reasoning is an effect of experience.

  2. Experience level is directly related to problem solving skill.

  3. Problem solving skill is an effect of attention + memory.

  4. Attention is an effect of reaction time.

  5. Reaction time is an effect of accuracy + memory.

  6. Accuracy is an effect of SPEED.

  7. but :/ , sadly :) , SPEED CAN ONLY BE BRUTE-FORCED i.e. fail many, many, many times.

Side note: Speed at gaming, speed at reading a page of text, speed playing soccer, speed while typing, speed reading CP problems ARE "A LIKE" BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

MOST IMPORTANT To go fast, you need to hurry slowly. Maybe start at high school math => advanced high school math text => beginner college math => intermediate college math => advanced college math.

You'll find many questions like yours here https://www.physicsforums.com/

You may post a new question if you're too impatient

Past + present top-1 math/phy researchers most likely have an account there.

Another resource: https://math.stackexchange.com/ -- very solid advice from top users (comments esp)

Side note to 6: Don't do drugs, energy drinks, weed or caffeine. Though they're effective speed hacks but they will increase your stress, set adrenaline to ALWAYS ON and may give you diabetes + weak kidneys + weak liver + many many more that come with it.
