By pushing the button again, the screen goes back to the clock. There are two buzzers as well that beep when the 25-min and 5-min timers are up. This is why I designed the Pomdoro Tomato: a 3D printed tomato shaped clock that, with the push of a button, automatically triggers the sequence of timers so you don't have to worry about it. However, when I was first trying the technique it was a hassle to switch between 25 and 5 minute timers on my iPhone. The purpose of the Pomodoro Technique is to prevent you from burning out, and I can confirm that it works effectively.
Each cycle of 25 minute work and 5 minute break is called a "pomodoro", and after 4 pomodoros you take a longer, 15-30 minute break (see diagrams in Step 1 for a visual representation). Then you set the timer for another 25 minutes and the process repeats. The way it works is you work for 25 minutes straight, then take a 5 minute break. As I was getting into the back to school mood this year, I was researching effective study habits and came across a technique called the Pomodoro Technique that caught my attention.
