Go to the range, specifically police or military, where they have human silhouette targets rather than just simple concentric rings.

Put the silhouette on your door/cubicle entry/standing easel with a tiny little yellow sticky note on it. On the sticky note, write, in very small letters, "It had better be f*cking important".
People would come up to my boss' door, see the target (and the range card), lean in, read the sticky note, and decide that whatever it was, it could wait until tomorrow.

Three rows of people in a loud open office all with headphones on. First question from the exec was “why aren’t you wearing our brand of headphones”?
That's me 🎧😬
Facial expression: bother me at your own risk is my deflection go-to. Not blinking while staring at them waiting for, "What" is next.
