Blocking same day requests automatically?

I recently started a part-time job outside my home so I'm not always available to accept same day requests to stay that night. I have my settings set for instant booking up to one day before, but I don't want people to be able to request to stay on the same day. I've gone through booking settings and can't find a way to do that. I had to decline a request yesterday for the first time. I don't want to have to decline requests as that will affect my listing. I also don't want to have to remember each day before I go to work to go onto my calendar and block that day. Does anyone know a way to do this?

If you go to:

Then you should see the following. Just uncheck the 'For IB hosts: allow guests to send.....

Hope this helps

 

Advance notice
Same day (customisable cutoff hour)At least 1 day’s noticeAt least 2 days’ noticeAt least 3 days’ noticeAt least 7 days’ notice
 
For Instant Book hosts: allow guests to send reservation requests without advance notice.
