I think only live games can improve your chess skills and train your brain because daily games are full of cheaters and waiting opponents to move for hours is not really engaging. So you have a choice between bullet, blitz and real life games. Daily games are great for analysis and improving your opening knowledge but not your tactics and overall chess skills.
Can you improve your game playing daily chess, or is it just different

Daily is a great way to improve your games.
First, it is a nice way to learn openings. In Daily games you are allowed to use a book or database. I recommend you to use both. Follow the recommendations by the author and as soon as your opponent deviate you use a database to see what other players have done in this line. One database is ChessBase Online, another is chessgames.com. If you don’t have a repertoire, go to Chessable and buy one (one repertoire as white, one as white). I cannot understand why a lot of players don’t use a database to go through the opening phase.
Second, you have time to think and analyse (without an engine, of course), so use this time to think and analyse. Before you make a move, be sure that you consider all sensible next moves by your opponent. Go through these lines, be sure that your move is strong and there is no immediate refutation by your opponent, and save your analyses. You can make notes about your plans, so you will remember what you was thinking. I do not write notes anymore, but I spend so much time analysing the games that I usually know exactly what is going on in ny games. There are some difficult positions where you have to spend 30 minutes or longer to find a good move. In really complex positions I spent 4 hours in one move. This is the way how strong people play, or people who want to get stronger.
In my experience there are few cheaters in Daily Chess, as our games are full of inaccuracies and mistakes. Chess.com detected very quick cheaters, even if they use an engine only for one or two moves. I know a guy who was banned because he played two moves with the help of an engine. So, don’t be afraid of cheaters.
Play perhaps three or four games simultaneously, but not more. Exception: tournaments. There you have usually to play against more opponents.
Good luck!

I don’t think it’s the best to be honest, too many things to rely on you don’t normally have especially the analysis board.

Weak players are not used to check forcing moves before they play. Check all checks, sacrifices, pawn breaks, just everything your opponent can do. I am playing a game right now where I won a canter pawn after a knight sac in the opening. My opponent didn’t see it coming, and he as strong as I am (around 1730). In Daily Chess you don’t have excuses for not having time to think.
Something else: be careful with undefended pieces, often you can lose such pieces by a combination. The same with undefended pieces from your opponent. If you think you are weak in tactics, go to Chessable and learn from the book 1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners, this is what you need to get 1700+. Without tactics chess is a boring game.

Scottrf, I am not sure if I understand what you said. Can you elaborate?

I think using the analysis board can be a barrier to improving at calculation.
And the opening explorer a barrier to really analysing openings. I have a mate in 12 currently which followed 9 moves of 'theory'.
Daily helps objective chess but not practical chess. I think classical time control is the best combining both of those.

I'm a fan of 10 minutes rapid games. 20 minutes is not too long to set anything else aside. You can focus your time to play chess and think nothing but chess. Just set your phone on silent mode.
Hola
My Daily rating (1600) is far better than my rapid (1300) or bullet ratings (<1200), purely down to the fact I can access the opening book and use an analysis board, take my time and test lines etc.
I know what you mean about coming back to the game after a while or when your mind is on other things, a friend of mine calls it "cold board" so it's vital to pause and look at the whole board, rewind a few moves instead of just playing the first move you see - or make notes and refer to them if you know you won't be able to play another move that day.
Also don't try and have too many games on the go at once. I'm currently playing someone who has 100 games waiting and will be unable to focus on all these games surely?
I think it's best to have a mix of daily games going and play the odd live game in between
From my perspective, I really want to improve at live games - real chess where more mental calculation comes in, but haven't been able to in over four years of playing at this site. Playing slower time controls hasn't helped, it's just made me better at slower time control games 
It's good to just bomb bard yourself with daily games in a couple openings. Once you play those games out do it again. And at the same time play the same openings in live chess. Add with watching some chess videos about those openings. Check all your games. Vs droid fish or a opening database.

This with the calculation, I agree with you. It is perhaps useful for to calculate and then use the board.
whats actually happening is im losing a lot because i think, in a live game it has your full attention, and for me in daily games, i forget from day to day what my plan was.
plus the alert for the move comes in while i really am doing something else, so its easy to just make a bad move because my attention is elsewhere.
i started playing more than one game at once because it can take days before the opponent to make a move, so it felt like i wasnt playing enough.
that just makes the day to day remembering worse though because now theres several plans in action.
one good aspect i think is its easier to experiment in a daily game...
so looking for advice... play less daily games at once... play live games?
