This all assumes I’d show up in colonial North America east of the Mississippi.
I’d convert all wealth and credit availability into gold coin and bar. With inflation that would buy me enough land and everything I would need to farm it. I’m thinking most of the Louisiana Purchase.
Firearms and ammo to defend it long enough to make the point, don’t F with me or mine. Several cases each of bourbon, Life Straws, aspirin, penicillin and Franks hot sauce. Finally and most importantly a copy of the Declaration and Constitution to save time if I should live another 50 years after arrival.
That should establish me as a god for the remainder of my days. 300 years ago most everything else I would need would be available. And I would go back without hesitating!

This reminds me of a "writing exercse" from many years ago.
My response to the "fantasy question" was, "I would choose not to go".
Evidently, the teacher expected some long drawn out response to an imaginary scenario.
Robes, several lighters and fluid , history books, and what ever medicine you use to treat syphilis.
I would then work hard to create and establish a sex cult. They would clearly see me as the real deal due to all the "predictions" I would make that would come true. I'd then teach them that if they gather more folks and gather lots of cash I'll return some day and bring them salvation etc. Then use what ever device got me back there to jump back to when I left. Hopefully my cult survived and is super rich then I show up and be all like I'm back bitches let's drink and ****.
Boom super rich cult leader. Life long dream of mine.

You too‽
I always wanted to be the son of a father that was a ***** bar czar.
Well there’s that…
You guys are all thinking small. How much can you fit into 584 sq ft because that is how much room is in a sphere that large if you use all of it. A 6ft person 3 feet in diameter is 18sqft,lets say 20sqft feet so we do not end up with something where it should not go. We have 564 sq ft to work with reasonably(I had it in meters corrected now).

This ties into a though I've had for any decades. What if you could travel back to the Alamo with 100 Marine Recon soldiers kitted out with today's equipment, could they hold the Alamo? Assuming they could bring supporting supplies (ammo, first aid/trauma kits, mortars etc), could they hold the mexican army off until Houston could get the troops needed to defeat Santa Ana? Say.... 4 MaDuece's, 4 dedicated snipers etc.
If I had to go back in time 300 years to the same spot (on earth), I would attempt to bring back a lot of printed media of current events and politics. I may become the greatest comedian in history trying to convince people that in the future we have a political party, and their following supporters, that:
Have placed on the highest court in the land, the supreme court, a person that does not know what a woman is.
In the future, many people do not know what sex they are, and there will be many sexes. They simply demand others refer to them as what they pretend to be.
People in the future will be forced to take medicine/vaccinations that do not work.
Raising taxes and more government spending is the cure to inflation. I may have to teach them what a "trillion" is.

They would just think you were nuts and lock you up. They couldn't imagine such a ridiculous group of people.
Good thinking, but there is still something wrong with your math. The area of a circle with a diameter of 30 ft is just over 706 sq ft not 584. But what we really need to look at is volume since the OP says a sphere of a diameter of 30 ft. That would give us a volume of about 14,137 cubic ft. That's quite a bit of space.
