Writing daily is a fair goal, but also a good way to resent writing as a chore/time waster. It's better to have fewer high-quality sessions than an arbitrary word-count goal per day.

The amount of words you write per day is ultimately meaningless. What isn't is what you write. Consider making some, in fact more of your days devoted to planning, plotting and outlining. Not only does this make your days feel less saturated with the 'grind' part of writing, it'll also increase your writing's quality.
