This is really the advice ?
So one of the things that I really recommend to people is that you Create an imaginary office even when theres’ no door to actually close. There are several ways to do that, in our office we’ve done that with those really great noise cancelling headphones.
All I could think of was Les Nessman from the old television show WKRP in Cincinnati:
"Les believes that as the news director, he should have his own private office, so he puts masking tape on the floor around his desk indicating where his office walls would be. He insists that anyone who approaches his desk must knock at an imaginary door and wait for permission to come in. He mimes opening and closing a door whenever he sits down at or leaves his desk; once he even took out a set of keys to lock the nonexistent door."

This post was my reaction to such bad advice. These are all the "tips" that I thought were actually useful, I'm hoping there are more in the comments here.
