I’m terrible at telling when it’s dry until it’s totally parched. I’m new to this and really wanna keep the poor little guy alive. Is there a safe interval I can just set a reminder for? It’s a small pot, like I can hold it in one hand.

I stick a finger in the soil about an inch for your average size succulent pot (further if it’s a big pot) if it comes out with no soil stuck to it and/or no moisture, it might be time to water.
Also for most succulents I just wait until they kinda start to almost wrinkle, then I drown them. They’re usually wrinkle free again in a few hours.
You’d much rather under water than over water. They’ll tell you pretty quick if they’re dying from lack of water but, by the time you notice they’re dying from over water they’re usually too far gone.
