Disturb me and die!!
It’s all very well having an ‘open door’ policy, (even if you don’t have an actual door to hide behind) but there are times when you need some undisturbed time to think. How do you make this need known to your fellow workers without offending them?
Some folk recommend a flag system – green flag for ‘yes, I’m open for business’ and red for ‘do not disturb’. The trouble with this is that your fellow workers need to know what the little flags are for.
I offer the above, which can be blu-tacked to a door, or laminated and propped up on a desk. The text is simple and to the point, and the picture emphasises that this is not a real death threat, merely an indication that you wish to be left in peace.
It worked well for me.
If you want to try it download the picture as a pdf file.
