i remember everything BUT the things im asked
Maybe contemplate that for a bit. It's not common for someone to forget things you are asked to memorise.
Why are you forgeting things that are asked of you? Why is it important for you to not remember them?
A meditation like state is quite good for that kind of introspective thinking. Closed eyes and quiet place really help to hear your inner quiet thoughts. (unless you have adhd, then you need different method)
idk man, but it always happens, i think my head is just shitting me at this point
In my opinion with careful observation you can figure it out what are conditions for your forgetfulness.
When humans don't have data about a phenomenon, they tend to bend their perception in various ways. By rituals or black and white generalized thinking.
Crealrly there is something complex going on as you remember some things and you forget others. The important stuff is to figure out what is different about them and how you can mitigate that in the future.
Mindfulness Is a process to teach yourself a skill to observe the mind and notice the patterns. If you notice things you can then begin to control them and modify them.
It also depends what your goal is:
Pass an exam -> study how to study
Memorise 100 digits of pi or some other information -> mnemotechnics
Stop being forgetful -> Mindfulness will teach you how to notice the things happening in your mind so you can figure out why you are forgeting important stuff. Magic solution to solve all your problems -> doesn't exist
