English term or phrase: "off limits" signs
la frase es “Off limits” signs are invaluable to preserving one's learning time and
concentration. This may be as simple as tying a ribbon across the entry
way of one's cubicle or wearing a “learning hat” that signals “If I'm
wearing this, I'm learning. No interruptions!”
