Stop emailing.

If you’re holding a meeting, draw up an agenda and circulate it to the staff attending beforehand. If you have an open-door policy, place your back to the entrance, or face away from your cubicle entry to indicate your unavailability. invite as few people as possible to limit discussion. Keep the office door closed.
