How realistic should my goals be for creating reels when I'm just starting?

Set goals you can actually achieve without burning out. If you’re brand new, start with one reel per week for eight weeks. That gives you time to learn, experiment, and not feel overwhelmed. After eight weeks, reassess—maybe you can add another reel per week. The key is consistency, not volume. Small, steady progress beats ambitious goals that make you quit. Build the habit first, then scale up.
