How many and what kind of tasks muse can do at the same time?
I have read two books from EP now and it seems that muses are able to do a lot of different kind of things, which is good. How many things muses can do at the same time? How long tasks take time?

Muses are informorphs so
Muses are informorphs so while they can only do 1 thing at a time (without hardware upgrades), it does have a speed of 3. The great thing with muses is that they're always busy working to improve your life though.

The book, Transhuman, does
The book, Transhuman, does cover your muse in greater detail. I'm not sure if you have read it yet (since you haven't stated exactly what books you have read). Its starts on p. 167 if you are interested. It is a little less than 3 pages worth of material though. However, other pages of the book does cover using your character well. This includes tips and tricks, as well as how to use skills better and as well as other assets. That might boost the utility of your muse if you get creative.

I haven't read whole
I haven't read whole Transhuman book yet, and I have read rules that are for muses. Summa summarum...muses can do one chosen action at time. "They" will monitor account balances, physical condition etc all the time, right?

The muse actions won't really
The amount of muse actions won't really come up all that often. I'm guessing it is most important to keep track of if it's involved in any Infosec oppossed rolls or the like.

Usually a Muse can do any
Usually a Muse can do any number of background tasks at any given time, unless you are demanding her full attention for whatever reason; accounting would be among those tasks, but please do remember that some stuff require an active wireless connection, not an issue on most habitats but it can be relevant while doing black ops, in the middle of the space/martian desert, etc...
