Ever wished your coworkers respected your privacy and actually knocked before they came in? It seems like an obvious thing to do, you might think, especially if you’re the one who’s focusing on that mind-boggling excel sheet or that tedious report.
No matter if you’re working in a private or shared office room, a cubicle or a designated spot in a co-working space, people walking in and out can easily disturb your workflow and snap you out of your flow state in an instant.

Sometimes being vague works better than being direct. If you want to repel unwanted intruders, but leave a bit to imagination about what’s going on behind your office doors, have a do not disturb sign that simply puts it this way – there are things we are doing that don’t include you. What’s not to understand?
As you can see, the effectiveness of a do not disturb sign relies pretty much on the wording and some formatting. For the sign to work properly, choose bold fonts and bold colors to emphasize your power words of choice that will help you avoid disruptions from coworkers, friends or family.
Besides keeping the intruders at a distance, the do not disturb sign can also cause an occasional chuckle from the passers-by if the humor is suited to the general mood in your office.
However, if you’re working in a place that doesn’t favor a light-hearted sarcasm or if you simply want to remain professional, send out those do not disturb vibes effectively via colored LED busylight patterns using our simple and brilliant Luxafor Bluetooth.
Now, if words are open to different interpretations, there’s no way your coworkers could misunderstand a bright red light politely and silently speaking: leave me alone!
