Have you guys played the game Simon? It's an old memory game which you can now find online.
Simon - Play the classic Simon memory game
The reason I bring this up is because I feel like people don't exercise their memory muscle anymore. All the data you need is inside your phone, all your passwords are saved, locations are reached by GPS. Can you remember something from one browser tab to another or do you constantly need to flip back and forth?
I am amazed sometimes at even my short-term memory fail. Ever call a store only to have them tell you to call another number instead? I think that it should be easy for someone to tell you a phone number and for you to remember it long enough for you to hang up and dial it. But sometimes I still screw that up. How saw when you can't remember 7 digits for longer than 10 seconds.
Anyway, I feel like our skills get eroded because we don't use them. It's the same with your brain. So I try to play Simon everyday. Yup it's boring, but I can get to about 13 consistently while watching youtube or talking to someone else and not really concentrating. (I only got to 9 while typing this post)
What can you do? Give it a shot.
