I have good memory but I always try to convert information into mental cards so I can draw associations, that is how I have learned all commands you can imagine. I deactivated the system file manager of my operation system long time ago because I got used to the terminal, and that is how I do everything in my personal computer.
For extraction of archives I am able to remember the commands like this. For files with "tar" extension I use "tar xf" (where "x" means eXtract and "f" file, I think so). Now, if the extension is "tar.bz2" add a "j", and "z" for "tar.gz". For "zip" files use "unzip" and start adding a prefix like "b" or "g" for "bz2" and "gz" files respectively:
file.tar -> tar xf
file.tar.gz -> tar xfz
file.tar.bz2 -> tar xfj
file.zip -> unzip
file.bz2 -> bunzip2
file.gz -> gunzip
