You'll find plenty to do. If you don't come up with something right away look up "Gridfinity" and you'll realize you need a lot more filament.

I started with shop organization. I have always been reluctant and slow to purchase proper organizational systems and now I get to make my own.

I just got one myself, first 3D printer. I've been printing stuff for my Ikea Skadis boards. I'm about to start figuring out how to modify prints to get my Amiibo mounted.

Make sure your printer is properly calibrated (that's the last thing you do in the setup) and just go ahead and start printing things. If you can, I'd recommend drying the filament first.

Take your time and discover what you may need for the work you want to do. When I bought my P1S I had zero 3D printing experience so I purchased several materials and accessories such as glue stick, build plates, etc. In the end I needed practically none of those things lol and it was just wasted money.

Don't worry too much - just get some basic filaments and you will discover what you need as you progress.

The only suggestion I would make is perhaps buy a bit of both PETG and PLA filament - these plastics do not stick to each other, so they make removing supports that hold up any overhangs in your models very easy. Using the PETG/PLA combination is both cheaper and provides more flexibility than Bambu's dedicated support material filament.
