Stoplight Autor: designbystephen

A virtual stoplight system that helps ease the stress of your work from home environment by notifying those around you of your need to focus. Extremely useful for those of us with kids running around the home office!


Works best with another screen or device, but it can be useful if you have a free window and a large format monitor as well.


How to Use:
Turn this on when you start working, or when you are busy by selecting a “status” from the popup. As your “status” changes throughout the day, click the stoplight to rotate through the statuses that match your need to focus.

Color Coded Statuses:

• Green (Free) - Please come and chat or play if you want to, I have some free time!
• Yellow (Waiting) - I am not very busy, but I could become very busy soon. Feel free to talk to me in the meantime.
• Red (Busy) - I am busy and I should not be interrupted. However, let me know if there is an emergency.
