mark off
Indicate as done
To mark off is to indicate boundaries or divisions, typically with visible markers: We marked off the construction zone with orange cones.
It also means to check items on a list as completed or accounted for: She marked off each task as she finished it.
The phrase suggests creating clear separations—whether physical spaces or mental categories.
