Memorize something new and interesting to you, something you think is really cool and fun to know, every day. Maybe some Shakespeare or a short scene from your favorite movie or stats for a baseball player. Start small with a paragraph of info or half of a song's lyrics and build up from there. Make sure it's something you like so you're motivated.
Then place a note in a book or on your computer that you memorized the info (just a comment, not all of the info). If you want you can place the actual info somewhere else but don't cheat. If you do it every day it gets to be a lot of stuff, 365 things after a year, so check your list once a week. If you forget one just go back through the list to refresh yourself.
Keep it up and you'll start memorizing small bits of information very quickly. Actors do this kind of thing all the time and a lot of them get really good. I've seen them memorize a short script in 15 minutes.
