There are some effective and practical ways we can improve muscle memory. According to Dr. Small, he has a method called :
Look, Snap, Connect
Look - Slow down. Take a second to remember what you have to record in your brain. Really look at the details or listen and process the words being used.
Snap - The brain has a natural ability to remember things visually, so leverage that. Take a mental snapshot of what you've just seen or the exact place some important conversation took place.
Connect - Associate these images, these mental snapshots to a relevant detail related to the situation in present.

Dr. Small recomends this exact exercise that will streghten your muscle memory :

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
