I think “do some” is about putting reasonable effort into things.
I read it as you don’t need to play football, basketball, and be writing a book, but you probably should do something. At the other end you don’t need to be the best in the world at anything, but you should try.
Knowing to cook is a useful life skill. That doesn’t mean learning a dozen types of ethic foods or preparing instagram worthy meals, but it does mean you should learn a little. Thus “do some” not “do everything” or worse “do nothing.”
