Everyone forgets those little things, like where you left your glasses or put your keys for instance. If you want to help your short-term memory you can do this simple exercise. Observe an object or photograph and try to remember something about it immediately. If you do this over the course of a week, by the end of the week there are several objects or people you can recall with ease. Working on your short-term memory will help your long term memory. Memorizing your grocery list instead of writing it down can also be a way to increase your short-term memory.
If we learn something new and only do it once or twice it is forgotten in a short period of time. Within 20 minutes you remember about 60% and in 24 hours you remember only 30%. But if you practice again within 24 hours, and then practice again later, you are likely to remember 80%.
Creating strong connections in the brain by growing dendrites means doing something over and over. This in turn means that you will have stronger, faster connections that will last a very long time and therefore help you remember what you learned.
