Stoplist is a tiny utility written in Python that takes a list of tasks with their durations and produces a short report highlighting the tasks that consume the most time. The script parses a CSV input, aggregates total time per task, and prints a suggestion of which tasks to eliminate or delegate to free up hours in your schedule.
The tool is designed for developers, freelancers, or anyone who logs work hours and wants a quick audit of where their time goes. It requires no external libraries, so you can drop it into any environment that has Python 3.6+. Just write a small CSV file with columns for task name and duration, run the script, and review the output.
Because it’s pure Python and only a few lines long, you can easily modify it to fit your workflow. Add custom columns, change the output format, or integrate it into a larger build pipeline. The goal is to give you a concrete view of time-wasting tasks so you can make informed decisions about what to cut.
