Unless you teach (which you probably do), it might be hard to imagine exactly how irritating it can be to answer the same question 18, 25, or 30 times in a row. I often make signs to help me avoid having to talk about silly details, freeing my brain up for the good stuff. In the Senior Studio class I teach every spring each student is busy making their own work, so on some days, they just come in and get to work. On those days I spend my time with them one on one, and so, everyday they come in and say, "Are we meeting or can I get to work?". In response I made this sign which I can flip around to communicate with them. It's working and I can now think just a little more clearly.
