E-COMMUNICADO

A self-imposed restriction that all communication with you must be e-mail only. (Cf. incommunicado.) Useful at work when you need large blocks of uninterrupted time. E-mail allows you to schedule your interaction rather than someone else. (Often indicated by a sign on your office door.) Example: I've got tons of stuff to catch up on, so I'll be e-communicado for the rest of the day.
