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.

This is pretty much what I was going to say and covers the basics. The trick is to learn your individual succulents needs through trial and error.
Unfortunately that’s harder with the thin leaved ones, but most of those can just be watered more frequently and you’ll be fine. I’ve found some of them even like being watered almost as frequently as normal plants as long as the soil they’re in is right.
Just don’t forget this if you change their location to a hotter sunnier window and forget to check on them until their “usual” watering time from their last cooler location… I can say from experience that they don’t appreciate it.
