I had a similar experience. Digital logic is very clean and neat, but the part where things broke down for me are things with feedback loops like latches. It's a bit tricky to tell what's going to happen in such devices without some analog background.

For me, I think visualising the timing really helps - and remembering that signals and gates do not act "instantaneously"; there is always a propagation delay. This is also why shift registers work. Things like edge-triggered flip-flops would be impossible if gates and signals were infinitely fast.
