You'd need both time travel and teleportation, or else you'll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn't a stationary object

Time (and relative dimension in space) travel

This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.

being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.

it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.

I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.

People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.

Psychology.

I assume psychology is very useful for social interaction, but complicated and mid-impact enough that I personally wouldn't bother to analog-learn it.

Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.

Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.

I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.

I would use it as a Total Perspective Vortex and dump the scale of the universe into my mind.
