Unless I am reading it wrong. In figure 1 it says there are 164 hours per week. However 24 hours * 7 days = 168 hours so what do the authors recommend I do with this extra four hours per week?

Thank you for catching the typo "164 hours" in Figure 1 and caption. This is meant to be 168 hours as maximum number of hours in a week. The authors also note that Figure 1 is noted as a dynamic time monitoring chart for prioritizing and delegating some key academic tasks over weeks and is not meant to represent a set, recommended or ideal timetable. As academics, our work also relies on colleagues and community thus delegation of tasks will vary among academics at the same career stage, across career stages and over weeks. In this paper, the authors encourage early career researchers to take charge of their own time and personalize the chart to their circumstance and satisfaction.
