It could be your trying to hard, I had that problem until I just learned to relax and take my time.  By the way, why is this in the futbol section?  I came here for futbol and find this, its confusing.

Because our short term memory can only hold very few things and only lasts 12-60 seconds...we must move things into our long term memory, which is able to store unlimited information, through repetition..this is the best way...

After following fungusbrain's solid advice, try to find mnemonic devices for important events.  Write down important events in order.  Do the first letters of each event spell a word, for instance?  Look for other ways in which they relate to help you remember them.

Keep using your mind, play memory games.\n\nAssociate between names, faces, objects, smell, feelings.\nTie-in your senses with the memory.\n\nYou can also try mnemonics, debeloping visual or verbal stories about waht your memorizing

i'd recommend MRI scan and yellow post-it notes so you can write things down if you need to remember them later.

Mnemonics? Revise them over as long a time as possible but never study for more than two hours without a break- your brain refuses to soak up any more information after that point.

Some people with Alzheimer's disease can remember things that happened _many_ years ago with great clarity, without being able to remember what they were doing an hour ago.\n\nSo in other words, being able to remember something that happened when you were younger does not necessarily mean anything.\n\nExcept the fact that you remember your grandpa.  I have a grandpa who died when I was real young, and I wish I could remember him. :(

Maybe a cheesy answer, but the more that you study intensely and use your mind, the more you remember.  If you do two weeks of intense memorization, you'll see a huge difference.

u have to relax your mind inhale and exhale well and let ur mind do the rest for you when your memory bank is ready to let u know.

Simply put, just memorize more and more often. Look at something every day for 30 mins and chances are, you will remember it.\n\nYou can also use visual cues to memorize something. For example, if you have to go golfing, out to dinner, and buy a hat, you might think about a guy wearing a hat, swinging a golf club, with a piece of food in his mouth, then you'll remember all three.\n\nAlso, understanding is an important part. If you understand what a definition means, then you'll remember it better. Write down that definition and say it aloud just as often as you read it, and you'll remember 3x better than if you had just scanned it over.\n\nAs for diet, it doesn't really matter. Try to eat something healthy, that will get the body fuels pumping. Plenty of sleep, and you'll remember.

Repetition does not guarantee memorization. Do you remember poems or speeches you had to give from memory in high school? I don't. The best way to improve memory is to associate the item with as many things as you can think of. Anything, sights, sounds, smells, words, feelings. The more the better. Saying it and hearing yourself say them is also important. But all in all, if you don't use it regularly, it will soon be relegated to your mental trash bin.

When you read, read aloud anything you think is important and repeat it to yourself a couple of times. You have a better chance of remembering. Or another option is to carry around a recorder and record anything important and listen to it later. Works for me for studying for Geo. exam.

Isn't it that thing that you remembered first but then you said no not that thing, it's the other thing but it wasn't the other thing, it was the one thing you said you always wanted to remember but keep forgetting. So you tried a new thing to remember this one thing you said you didn't want to forget. So now, do you remember which is the thing since it was the thing you didn't want to forget so you used another things to help remember this thing??\n\n\nOk fine, stop thinking and it will come to you, it normally does.

The next time you get deja vu, you know, at that moment you realize you've done this before - try to figure out what will happen next!  You can't!  But if, as most people think, you've lived the experience before, you should have no problem remembering what is to follow. Here's why you can never remember what will follow.  When we experience anything, our brain records it and stores it as a memory.  Then that memory is "filed" so that when we recall it, we can determine the sequence of the event, i.e. was this recent, or years ago?  When the brain "misfiles' a current event as being something in the past, it recognizes that event and we feel we've experienced it before.  But actually, our brain is comparing the current event to itself!  That's why we can never follow through with what happens next...because it hasn't happened yet!  And that, my friend is deja vu!

I can mix it up, mix it back down, and then get so confused that I don't remember where I am.  Wait, was there a question?

I'm not a guy and I don't have ADD.  What I do have is huge case of forgetfullness.  I have to be reminded of things two, three, sometimes four or five times.  There's nothing wrong with me.  In fact, my long term memory is better than most.  But my short term memory absolutely sucks.  The people in my life find it annoying, heck, so do I, but they love me so they deal with it.  And, contrary to some opinions, a lack of remembering things does not constitute a lack of caring about things.
