I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now, and I'm still figuring out the watering situation

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now, and I'm still figuring out the watering situation. The soil dries out faster than I expected, so I've been checking it every few days, but I'm worried I'm overdoing it. Has anyone else struggled with getting the moisture right? Also, I'm thrilled that one of the newer leaves is starting to develop those iconic holes—I wasn't sure if mine would ever fenestrate, so seeing that happening makes me feel like I'm doing something right!
