Keeping track of daily word-count sure is a good motivator to keep writing... but a word of caution: word-count is not a very good measurement for productivity. 10000 words that need three re-writes to be usable are nothing compared to 7000 words that were right the first time.
Yes - I am one of those who re-writes and re-writes, and I may have written 10,000 pages, but I may not use it all. It can be frustrating. But if done correctly, I agree with the above that it is a nice feeling to see your progress, if it is progress, at the end of the day.
