I tend to snap onto numbers or combination of letters and numbers but they have to begin or end with them, acronyms seems to stick pretty well but I don't always remember their meaning in the long term. For instance SCCM is a tool Microsoft created to manage computers in a network, updates, reload images etc. in a push from a server.
People use to tell me about resistor color code memory technique, sally ran bla bla bla, which I didn't care for since the resistor has a color code already. Matching them by their color was always easier than some script. But for other things I tried the Palace trick which the ancient Greeks and Roman used, you can make as complex or as simple as you want. I sort of like that method, but it's the long term vs short term memory that is a problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci
After that it's easy to memories devices, their common issues and troubleshooting methods. But, it doesn't stop their, I want to learn a new Language as well, but mind has to compete with my new job, at my age I can still learn new things, I'm am and your not such an old dog that we can't learn new tricks, I refuse to believe that old adage.
Who ever is interested can reply to this "Thread" I want everyone here to benefit, lastly I want to learn programming languages, I have spent time learning about electronics but now days electronic development vs programming is something I've thought about and programming wins my time spent learning new things. So, programmers if you have some tricks up your sleeve please leave a comment. I enjoy math as well, and remembering a method vs another becomes difficult in the long term if I don't do it every day.
Thank you,

I can use the palace method and remember maybe about a week pretty well with a 98% recall without effort. I surprised myself, but when you begin to get things like matching a place with a year and a event or begin the process of linking things together such as categories, like my new job which Dept to transfer when we in" Tech Support" do not cover that duty, scripting the "canned responses" and such is no trouble, but I don't want to take the time finding a resource in the company directory if I already know the Dept and number on a note pad or just remember that Dept phone number.Many effective memorisers today use the "method of loci" to some degree. Contemporary memory competition, in particular the World Memory Championship, was initiated in 1991 and the first United States championship was held in 1997.[4] Part of the competition requires committing to memory and recalling a sequence of digits, two-digit numbers, alphabetic letters, or playing cards. In a simple method of doing this, contestants, using various strategies well before competing, commit to long-term memory a unique vivid image associated with each item. They have also committed to long-term memory a familiar route with firmly established stop-points or loci. Then in the competition they need only deposit the image that they have associated with each item at the loci. To recall, they retrace the route, "stop" at each locus, and "observe" the image. They then translate this back to the associated item. For example, Ed Cooke, a World Memory Champion Competitor, describes to Josh Foer in his book Moonwalking with Einstein how he uses the method of loci. First, he describes a very familiar location where he can clearly remember many different smaller locations like his sink in his childhood home or his dog's bed. Cooke also advises that the more outlandish and vulgar the symbol used to memorize the material, the more likely it will stick.
