Short YouTube video (Jacqueline Elliott) featuring a short dialogue in which two speakers describe how a husband was physically present with family but mentally preoccupied with work, to the point he could not remember key moments seen in photos. The speakers urge practical changes: review photos to illustrate missed moments, put down the phone, focus on work while at work and on family while at home so each domain receives full attention.

I think one of the most painful.
Things I did with him is I told him, we learned to live without you.
I told him, hey, pull out your phone.
Do you see these pictures? And we went through them. I said, do you remember this instant when Sophia did this? And he was looking at it, and he could not remember most of the incidents. He was in the pictures.
But he really wasn't there. He was with us, but his brain was thinking about work, all the deals that he was missing, all of that stuff. And when he was at work, he was thinking about home and how much he needed to be with us. You know, it does your family no good to be thinking about them. When you're at work, you be working. Your feet are when you're at work. Give it all you got at work so that when you're home, you can.
Put your foot and your phone down.
And not have to think about what you missed at work.
