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
