A lot of that is because the things we remember have some significance to us and how we learned them. There are many courses that teach a way to link things we need to remember in order to help us remember them, for example, and by making those links we remember them. One example is the substitution of objects for number, for example: one=gun, two = shoe, three = tree, 4 equals door and so on and to remember a number the number 421 we could think of a door laying on the ground with a shoe sitting upon it and a gun inside the shoe, to give one example.
I have found over many years that in a school situation, getting some DMAE - a natural substance with no side effects which costs about $6. from a health food store increases memory and concentration as well so that can help memory.

We remember some things easily because it had a greater impact or relation to us that it is more important to retain that those of the others.
For example, there are two people speaking at the same time in your eye. They are relaying different messages. Notice that after they finished their message, you understood the one that interests you most, it caught your attention. Try it and you'll see. Same goes with remembering.

Research indicates that we store/experience quite a bit more than we realize.
Being able to access the information seems to be the problem.
It depends upon how much attention was given to the event/item and how this [attention] effects where and how the brain stores the info.
If what's been experienced is not linked/tied to some "trigger" [emotion, salient feature, etc.], then retrieval becomes more difficult.

There r something which are so close to us, that we automatically remember,some which are of little use are harly remembered.
It is also possible there is a mental block not to remember, which may have happened a few days/week/months/years ago.
