Try taking the code that's presented in the lessons, thinking of some minor changes, and trying to implement them yourself. Just like anything else, you'll get better over time. There's no secret other than practice.

Treehouse TeacherSome students have said it really helps to go through the project twice; that the 2nd time through helps cement the ideas better. And as Ben mentioned, practice! It will really help to build something that you decide. Doesn't have to be complex, but just working through your own problem is invaluable. Check out the "Related Reading" material in the Teacher Notes for each video, too.
I still look up things that I should probably have remembered. Don't worry about remembering everything; just focus on the concepts and figuring out what you should do. Best of luck!
