Practice! If you learn how to use mnemonic devices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_device) you can DRASTICALLY increase your memory. As silly as it sounds, if you spend a little time each day practicing, you can really improve your memory over a few weeks.
Most people are able to remember 7 numbers, letters, etc at any given time. With practice and mnemonic devices a particular student (this is well documented in Psychology of Learning textbooks) increased his short term memory to 80+ characters.

remembering my good previous training days, i consume various boiled eggs for protein, the day i'm taking attempt to maintain my memory skill working over the years. it quite is needless to say, when I learn and just about memorize each and every of the formula and a few considerable subject it quite is unquestionably important. some says, pork and legumes or green leafy vegetables.. yet i know this is going to pay off..

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS SELF-TRAIN.TAKE A PHRASE OR A SENTENCE EVEN AND FIRST WRITE IT DOWN 21 TIMES 7 TIMES REPEADILY. LEARN TO SAY THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT IS YOUR HEAD. OTHER THAN THAT YOU ARE DOING TO MANY THINGS AT ONCE. CHALLENGE YOURSELF
