Rookie to investing. Invest weekly?

I’m new to personal investing. Fidelity manages my 401(k), which I max out, and my partner handles the larger investments. I’m currently reading books to improve my financial literacy. (I know, I should had started YEARS ago).

I want to invest an additional $800/month in the S&P 500 through my own account, which I can track independently. What’s the best way to approach this in the current market? Should I invest $200 per week, or is there a better strategy? Part of me wants to wait for the market to stabilize, but based on what I’ve read, it seems smarter to start now and stay consistent. Or, wait a month?

What would you recommend?
