Activities that Challenge and Stimulate Your Brain



Cognatio Law was established by NewLaw industry veteran Lesley Hobbs, with co-founder Tim Fawcett, in response to the growing demand for flexible lawyers in Hong Kong. We offer a wide spectrum of solutions for in-house legal teams to enhance efficiencies, as well as lowering internal overhead costs, by providing flexible and cost effective consulting services. Please contact us today to learn more.

Work Hard, Play Hard. This is the motto you will often hear repeated in the bustling, incredibly fasted-paced city of Hong Kong. With housing prices skyrocketing, for many life has become much more focused on the “Work Hard” and less so on the “Play Hard” portion. Having time to relax and pursue a hobby or two is very important however, both for your body and for your mental health. Having a hobby is not just a way to pass the time; it can also improve the quality of your life. Keeping your mind active by engaging in brain stimulating activities has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease, along with adapting other key lifestyle habits.

So give yourself some well-deserved downtime, while engaging and challenging your mind at the same time. Multitasking at its finest! Here are a few suggested hobbies that will help stimulate your brain:


Play a musical instrument

Boost your creativity, analytical skills, memory, problem solving, and fine motor skills by playing a musical instrument! Playing music strengthens the corpus callosum, the link between the two halves of your brain which is responsible for creating new connections. Musicians also learn how to multitask, pay attention to detail and quickly handle both cognitive and emotional elements simultaneously. All of this helps your brain stay focused and sharp.

Reading

The bonus here is that reading anything, from the latest Wall Street Journal to Harry Potter, will benefit you. Reading reduces stress, improves your vocabulary and language skills, and much more. It's been proven that people who read literary fiction show higher levels of empathy and emotional intelligence, which in turn boosts your communication skills. Communication skills play an important role in the workplace.

Puzzles and Games

Workout your brain with your favorite brain stimulating activity; including Sudoku, crossword puzzles, board games, video games, card games, and other similar activities. These types of hobbies increase neuroplasticity, which basically helps optimize your brain by assisting with a wide variety of changes in neural pathways and synapses. This can help improve your ability to see things from different points-of-view and become more aware of new patterns, as well as boosting cognitive abilities.

About us:

Cognatio Law is the latest NewLaw evolution in Hong Kong, providing flexible legal; regulatory and compliance resources to satisfy increasing demand from both international and local companies which require practical, cost effective and time sensitive solutions. Does your law firm need to meet business critical deadlines while reducing permanent employee overheads? Contact us today to speak with one of our highly qualified and experienced consultants.

#Paris2018 Gay Games: #TeamAsia Highlights


The 2018 Paris Gay Games 10 was the world's largest sports and cultural event, setting a record high attendance with 10,317 participants from 91 countries! The Gay Games have grown tremendously since being founded by Dr. Thomas F.

Below are a few of #TeamAsia and #TeamHongKong’s triumphant, medal-winning moments from the #Paris2018 Gay Games:



Exercise Boosts Brain Power!

Iso Fit Hong Kong is a fitness and rehabilitation studio located in Central, Hong Kong with state-of-the-art GYROTONIC and Pilates equipment. Iso Fit’s Polestar Pilates certified instructors will help you meet your health and fitness goals in just a few hours per week.



In today’s fast paced world setting aside time for physical activity can feel next to impossible. Isn’t walking to the MTR enough exercise? No, it’s not. Setting aside time each week for physical activity is crucial for both your body and mind!  According to Dr. Wendy Suzuki, professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University, physical activity can have a hugely positive influence on your brain. At her November 2017 TEDWomen talk, Suzuki went so far as to say that physical exercise is the most transformative thing you can do for your mind. Adding as little as 90 minutes of exercise each week can boost your brain function, enhance efficiency, and protect you from cognitive decline.

Eat to Heal: Fill Your Plate with Colourful Fruits and Vegetables

T8 Fitness Hong Kong offers a wide-range of equipment solutions which assists with exercise, rehabilitation, Pilates, yoga and more. As the sole distributor of ToeSox and Tavi Noir in Hong Kong, T8 Fitness is here to ensure that you have comfortable, stylish and practical fitness gear for all of your workout needs.


Food is one of the most powerful “medicines” on the planet, vital for optimal human nutrition and performance. Beyond calories, carbs and fats, food is a source of exceptional ingredients that can transform your health. Fruit and vegetables contain important nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, and so on, but they are also abundant in nutrients known as “phytonutrients”. These nutrients are what give fruit and vegetables their intense color and remarkable nutrition, allowing for optimal cellular function and communication. When our cells are communicating effectively, the proper sequence of enzymatic reactions take place leading to healthier organ systems, improved detoxification, a strong immune system, and muscles that will perform when called upon.

High-Quality, Authentic Social Media Content for Your Business




If you can quote Douglas White on anything, it’s that “Content is King!”. Douglas White is the founder of PRDA, Asia’s top Social Media Agency, as well as being a leading social media educator and expert on the social media landscape in Asia. His proven 5-4-3-2-1 social media methodology has been introduced to more than 90 companies, making it the most implemented and well-known social media management strategy in Asia! But let’s get back to content, and the strategic reasons why content is always king.

Social media IS content. Can you imagine what Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WeChat and Sina Weibo would look like without images, videos, and written posts? No one would visit them, what would be the point? Designing personal content for your brand is how you attract new sales, how you retain and communicate with current customers, as well as promote new products and ideas. Social Media platforms can also be used to streamline business channels, for example, reducing call center volume and thus reducing the overhead expenses of a higher permanent employee base. Smart organizations utilize digital communications because it saves money, empowers employees, and offers many other benefits.

 
A one-size-fits-all approach will not suffice when it comes to content marketing, which is why it is important to plan out a unique social media strategy that will focus on your target customer base. Brainstorm on how to deliver high-quality, authentic content that is entertaining, useful, and interesting for your consumers. Choose from text, images, videos, infographics, surveys, contests… Whatever your selection, ensure it is shareable and relevant to your industry.

Bonus tip: Not all content needs to be unique, be sure to post frequently (at least daily) on your social media pages. Share content from non-competitors, showcase your products, etc. And when you are ready to use your authentic content, boost it! High quality, unique content will have a significant impact on SEO and search engine rankings, so get it out there as frequently as possible!

For business success, you need to have the right social media presence. PRDA is focused on formulating and implementing social media strategies that deliver ROI-oriented and data-driven results focused on business requirements and clearly articulated goals.

Primasia: Make Your Small Business Stand Out


Whether you are a startup or a well-established enterprise, Primasia Corporate Services can assist with your expansion to Asia, particularly in Hong Kong, China, and other offshore jurisdictions. As a leading professional provider of corporate services for over 30 years, we offer a large variety of corporate solutions; including trade services, Xero cloud accounting, and payroll management.

Standing out in today’s fast-paced, digital-focused world is no easy feat, but it is especially vital for small businesses and startup who hope to succeed against big business and large corporations. Simply being “locally owned” is not enough to sustain a business long term. Making your small business stand out requires offering services or doing things that larger competitors either can not or do not provide. You must be more than “just” a business owner, you have to be part of your community and build a connection to your customer base.

Here are three ways to help your small business stand out:


Provide excellent customer service

Recently there was an article in the South China Morning Post referencing Hong Kong’s “Time is Money” culture, and how common courtesy has become non-existent. Thus, one of the biggest ways you can differ from your competition is to take an extra moment or two to treat your customers with respect and reap the benefits of building a loyal customer base that will keep returning to your small business. A simple “Good Morning” and a smile can go a long way toward making people feel welcome.

Know your customer base

Understanding your customers is a vital part of effectively selling your product or service and in increasing sales. From targeting potential new customers as part of your social media marketing, to providing the goods and services your returning customers expect, to promoting new items and expansions- the key to success is all in communicating with your customers.

Specialize at what you are truly good at

Try not to be a “jack of all trades”. Focus on what you are really good at and position yourself as an expert in your field. Tell people what you are really good at and stick to it. Often we find ourselves saying “Sure, I can do that.”, and wind up in an over promise, under deliver situation. Instead keep a referral list of people you trust to suggest in the fields that you are not as familiar with. In this way you can perfect the specialties you are really good at, and be  THE expert in town who is the expert to work with.

Since 1987, Primasia Corporate Services has been assisting businesses of all sizes. We are known for our highly qualified and experienced staff, for offering tailor-made corporate solutions, and for our Full China Service- including WFOE, JV and RO set-up, Market Entry Solutions, Bank Account Opening, Accounting / Tax Compliance, HR & Payroll Services, Work Visa Application, and Chinese Company Health Check.
