It makes little sense to add a bunch of irrelevant fields to the Daily Entry data type. So what's relevant?

Word Count applies to the text of the user's Daily Entry, so it should be a field.

The number of intervals remaining in the day isn't relevant to the Daily Entry, so let's make it a field of another type. Same for how many words you need to write in each interval for the rest of the day.

What type, though? Maybe a "Goal" data type, which is the writing goal you're striving for during the day. Let's call it Writing Goal:

A quick way to set permissions on a data type is to just check the box "Make this data type private by default" when creating it. This lets only its creator view it.

I added the Intervals Remaining and Words Per Interval fields to represent the aforementioned values.
