Can I somehow learn to remember?

I had another question, but then I had to go fix a scanner, and now I’ve forgotten it. This kind of thing happens constantly.

But it’s not just the little daily things that I’m forgetting. People are constantly telling me about things we’ve done together in the past that I have zero recollection of. I forget people all the time, too. Twice this week I’ve introduced myself to people who said that we’d already met.

Don’t get me wrong – I somehow always remember to pay my bills, feed the cat, etc. I graduated college with honors. This is not affecting my ability to get by, but it does affect my interpersonal relationships and my self-esteem.

I have all sorts of tricks to help me out – many involving electronics (reminders, etc). Also, I learned early on that photos help me tremendously, and I believe it’s part of the reason I became a photographer.

So, what I want to know is: How can I improve my memory recall? Is there someone who can help me remember things from the past? AND, moving forward, what can I do today to help me remember today tomorrow? Does anyone else here have this problem?
