Dan Ariely wants to help manage your time

The Washington Post:

Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist at Duke University who wrote the popular book Predictably Irrational, has a portfolio of apps he helped create for the iPhone. One, called Oranges2Apples, helped illustrate the economic concept of opportunity cost by showing people what else they could buy if they didn’t spend money on a selected item. Another, called At A Boy, doled out compliments to the user (presumably to help with his research).
