Train Your Memory to Perfection!

All it takes to achieve an organized and a large-capacity memory is to dedicate 5-10 minutes of your daily life to simple techniques destined to either directly and/or indirectly positively impact your cognition and memory. Some of these techniques are:

Proper nutrition
Your intake of foods can have a positive or negative impact on your overall cognition including memory. Eating a plethora of sugars will certainly provide the brain with the glucose it needs to carry out its proper function, however there is a certain saturation point which when surpassed will bring no further benefit, other than your taste buds, and can actually be detrimental to your cognition and overall well-being. Therefore try to avoid excess sugars in your diet by simply substituting soft drinks with water or by performing other similar measures. This step is not essential to attaining a perfect memory, but rather acts as a catalyst making it easier to achieve the desired goal.

Nootropics
There are a variety of supplements and substances designed to enhance cognitive processes including learning and memory at a cost of no side effects. Among these we find substances such as Piracetam and related compounds, which modify neural function in your favor. Pills are certainly not an answer to attaining a perfect memory, but again as the case above, can serve as useful catalyst enabling you to attain what you desire more easily.

Memory improvement techniques
These techniques are the primary sources for attaining an excellent memory because these techniques implement paradigms into your cognitive skills that will allow you to form and retain memories more quickly and with a greater ease than without them. These often include exercises borrowed partially from psychology such as the creation of a mental palace: you pick some familiar structure, preferably a building you know well, and designate each room to different groups of information. Once you want to revive some of this stored information just navigate through the mental palace and retrieve what is needed. Not only does this technique bring more order to your memories but also ties your visual sense to them as you deposit the information to be remembered in the designated palace areas. The more senses(touch, sound, sight etc.) you assign to some event/information the easier to retain in memory it becomes.

There are many more memory improvement techniques and all share an ease of implementation into your daily life and a high efficiency bringing you noticeable results in a short amount of time. So don't be afraid to try it for yourself!
