This December we want to celebrate all those generous and kind-hearted people out there who contribute to the greater good, give their time and help others. Here at MAS, each staff member is given one day per year to give back to community. They pitch in for a wide variety of organisations and causes and we'll share their stories as our #masforgood advent calendar.

Many of us struggle with the feeling that time just seems to disappear, especially when we have lots on the go. Typically when we feel this way, we find it hard to recall or account for how we have filled each hour of the day.
