To improve your memory you need to work on three things: 1. Your health: two most important things, assuming you have no actual disease are eat fish and take a multivitamin. 2. Your attention: if you don't notice something, like where you left your car keys, you won't remember it. 3. Mnemonics: These are memorization techniques. Most of them make use of visualization. For example, you will associate the number 9 with a girafe and the number 7 with a nazi officer, and when you need to remember something with these two numbers you will include a mental image of a nazi riding a girafe to remember 79. Just google it, there are websites that go into more detail on this. The most effective memory (and attention) system I know is provided by iMasterMemory.com, but it's expensive. You could learn the basics by reading their free manual though. Photographic memory is a myth, it doesn’t exist. To improve your memory you need to work on three things:

Mine improved greatly, when I started using flashcards for learning, also I've read in different places, that to have good memory, you really just need to develop a habit of deliberately remembering things as they happen... it might feel slow and weird at first, but it soon becomes second nature.
