Practice improves memory
Specific practice to improve specific memory
You have to decide what details you want to remember then every game repeat those details in your head three times to lock it in.
Once that gets easy you add the next thing to remember.
I find the key to making the most of a bad memory is to only remember specific details and to have a specific idea of what I can do with that information.
Other stuff like Noble says is true as well, but I"ve been working on my stud game specifically and that"s how I"ve approached the memory aspect of that.

in general try to get out of thinking/convincing yourself that u have a bad memory, imho u"ll find it hard to stay motivated in improving your memory with the negative belief that u have a bad one :)
as to improving it, there are various ways that i know of, improved fitness which helps u stay alert and if the quacks are correct then it helps guard against memory loss as u get older :).. improving your diet is claimed to help, don"t play when stressed out over something or another, its harder to concentrate, hmmm things to do like puzzles or challenging oneself to learn a new skill like playing an instrument is advocated by some to help memory.. sleep springs to mind, helps not being tired when playing :), being focused takes effort so never let up or let your concentration lapse... errr theres books that say association by pictures in your mind helps... u seem to have your head screwed on, if u want to improve it then you"ll find a way i"m sure...
good luck sir..........

Strangely, I have a brilliant memory for some things. Phone numbers, once they"re in, are hard to shift. Also part numbers in my job as a design engineer seem to stick worryingly well. Sadly.
My fitness isn"t too bad atm and my diet can"t be far short of exemplary i.e. lots of fruit & veg, lots of omega 3 in regular mackerel salads, very little junk food, very little beer, at least not on a regular basis.
I never get stressed. I live on my own :) Well, with my mate Petch who isn"t a source of stress at all.
Sleep could be an issue. I only have 5 or 6 hours generally but it"s good quality stuff. Zonked straight away and don"t stir before the alarm. Also very rarely nod off in the evenings so must be getting enough. Sleep.
Looks like I just need to concentrate more then :)

So what snippet do you think I"d be best trying to memorise for a start?
