Maslow's Hammer
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, it's tempting to treat every problem as if it is a nail."
The law of the instrument, (law of the hammer, Maslow's hammer, or golden hammer) is a cognitive bias that involves an over-reliance on a familiar tool. As Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."
