An inability to see a problem from a fresh perspective due to being stuck on a particular approach or interpretation.
From Latin 'fixatio' meaning 'a fastening,' from 'fixus' past participle of 'figere' (to fasten, fix).
Fixation is when your brain locks onto one way of seeing things and can't budge — it's the enemy of creative problem-solving.
