I moderate amount of control of my mental health
Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.
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.
Seconding Piano. I'm a reasonably decent guitarist, but there aren't many everyday situations where this comes in handy unless you're a professional musicians.
However, Pianos are casually placed everywhere, intended for public use. Especially in airports for some reason. I would love to woo random people passing by by flawlessly playing Hiromi Uehara or Jordan Rudess.
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.
Whatever skills would result in what the deep mediators to control autonomic functions like heartrate and could mimic death. I don't just want the control thing though I want the whole kit that comes with it which would likely have some martial arts. figure like and ideal shaolin type of thing.
Time travel
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

Math, so so much math...
Sex probably
the ability to think calmly and rationally
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.
I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.
How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.
If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.

"I know how to make piles of money while sitting on my ass" (without being a psychopathic CEO, a crypto bro or a "fintech" con artist, for the sake of not hating myself)
Then I can use my money to buy the services of anybody who has the other abilities I need while still sitting on my ass, and feel good providing employment at the same time.
The problem is luck plays an enormous role in whether or not a company fails or makes bank. This is how we end up with idiots who become hundred-millionaires or billionaires. Though being savvy helps improve your chances.
If you're good at playing the dailies, you will inevitably go bust, possibly while owning a bunch of rotting commodities that didn't sell in time, but once you have a reputation friends will lend you money to get back on your feet (which you pay back with interest.)

Ability to play the guitar like Gilmour, EVH, Page and Hendrix.
Probably the ability to not be an unbalanced idiot 24/7. I literally fell up the stairs twice this week. There are few people who are less scatter-brained than me.
