It might be something simple. I was having similar problems. It turned out I needed B12 supplements.

Seconding the supplement option.

A good, balanced supplement routine (or diet adjustment, but that's a lot more commitment) and starting the day with useful memory games (i.e five or so Duolingo challenges) has improved my memory, both short and long term, significantly.
