How's your short term memory?

I certainly hope it's better than mine. It's funny but I can remember things from 75 years ago but can't always remember something 75 seconds ago. I have great long term and medium term memory but the short term is the bad one. I guess at 84 2 out of 3 memories isn't too bad.
I don't know how many times I've walked into a room and wondered why I was there. Luckily sometimes after I leave the room what I was trying to remember hits me like a bolt of lightning.
It's frustrating as the devil but sometimes I have to laugh at my self although I don't think its that funny. Especially when I'm working on something and get distracted then can't remember what I was doing.
If anyone has a miracle cure I'd sure be glad to learn it. I know I'm wishing for something that probably doesn't exist but you never know.
It could be that as we are walking into that room, we are momentarily distracted by something and, PSSSSHT, the thought that sent us on that route is gone for the moment. I know that's happened to me as well.

I have good long term memory but not excellent. I am good at remembering where things are because I keep them in their place.
I think being organized helps our brain and memory process. Other thing is to do one thing at a time or less things at a time. Get rid of distractions. Make and write a schedule for everything.
