There are multiple optional objectives but they won't make too much difference. Do what you need to do and head out of your apartment. Takemura will call you and tell you to meet him in Tom's Diner. You'll have to go on foot as your car isn't available without completing a quest at this time.

Playing For Time Tips and Strategy

No Vehicles

If you want to accomplish side quests before doing this quest, be advised that your car will be disabled for now, since you need to accomplish the Human Nature quest to gain access to your car.

This means that if you want to accomplish quests far away from the current objective, travelling will have to be done by running or through Fast Travel. Alternatively, you could wait 10 hours (no skipping) to wait for your car to get fixed.

If you do not want to wait, there are two possible options: one, you could grab a bike from one of the Tyger Claws who are robbing a few people. Often times, they have motorbikes lying around that you can take. Stop their crime and the bikes are yours.

Or you could do the Heroes side mission which nets you Jackie's bike.

      I'd really like to see a flowchart with all the Main Quests, Side Quests, and Gigs that exist so we can easily see what you need to do before unlocking XYZ quest (kind of like they did here https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/cyberpunk-2077-walkthrough-main-story-quest-list-main-missions-order-5077 except with everything, not just the Main ones)
