Play video games or engage in other hobbies

You cannot effectively do the rest.
I do 4, 5, & 6.
I slept 3 hours last night and have an embarrassing number of Uber Eats deliveries each month… but on the bright side I count the video game time sometimes as “cultivating healthy relationships” when I can get ahold of my fellow gaming dads who don’t go to bed until after 1am… 🥱
I’m my case my job is both creative and technical so I sometimes need to just let stuff marinate in my head. I can feed my chess hobby or cook during that time. I’ve got 2 kids under 5 so after 5p it’s parenting only until they go to bed.
Edit: notably there is still no time for video games

If you don’t get the full 40 a lot of stuff fits.
