Following are few tips to help you improve your attention which will ultimately help you increase your memory which will result into more mental fitness in your case:

A little exercise to do to improve your attention -

Turn your attention upon some uninteresting thing and study every detail until you are able to describe them. Try to ZERO-focus on it. It may seems boring but do it for the sake of exercise. Let you mind focus 100% on this thing.

This will seem boring or tiresome at first but you must stick to it. Do not practice too long at a time at first; take a rest and try it again later.

You will soon find that it comes easier, and that a new interest is starting to manifest itself in the task.

For example, pick a flower. Touch it. Smell it.  Feel its texture. How many petals does it have? How long is the stem? What is the color and shape of the petals? By doing this simple task, you will be surprised at the quantity of little things that you will notice.

This method, practiced on many things, in spare hours, will develop the power of voluntary attention and perception in anyone, no matter how deficient he or she may have been in these things. Begin to take notice of things about you: the places you visit, the people in the rooms, etc.

In this way you will start the habit of “noticing things,” which is the first requisite for memory development.
