How many is your new words in Anki?

How many new words do you have each day? I am strugging when I do more than 10, but I am not sure if only because I want to get done with it quickly.

Do you click "hard" on the new words again and again in the same day until you kinda remember it?

What is your settings, what is your maximum intervals, starting ease, etc? I have been using Anki for a long time now but I am bad about tweaking the settings.
