Confusing Process with Goals
The key problem in watching your numbers too closely is that you lose sight of the team. I've done this. Overly focused on my hot-list, cost to complete, or pricing out options, I forget that these homes are designed and built by professionals who make this their livelihood.
In the heat of the moment, all you need to know is how much more time you are going to need, your next three milestones, and who needs help getting their job done.
In the end, all you have is your team (or what's left of it) a huge pile of paper, and your goal, however achieved. Although the paper is important, it is you and your team that got you to the goal.
