this is the bellcurve meme, only think has worked for me is note taking and making it easy for me to recall when i forget. I've accepted that I've bad memory and I just try to work around it, but i agree with the other comment in this thread about practice, once you practice enough it becomes sort of can switch to that way of thinking and usually that puts you in sort of the right path to recall the right thing. all this is just personal experience.

edit: i still haven't figured out how as a kid i could remember whole chapter literally word-by-word but now I can't even properly remember a phone number. hah.
