About How I Muse
How I Muse is my personal diary for how I actually use Muse.
I’m Brian. I build and run small online businesses and directories — including a San Diego HOA directory, a wedding officiant directory, and a Southern California travel guide — and I use Muse every day to do the work: researching, organizing, building websites, tracking rentals, planning trips, and running the day-to-day of those projects.
This blog is where I write down what that work really looks like.
Why a diary, not a tutorial channel
Most AI content shows the finished result and skips the messy middle. I wanted the opposite: a record for myself of what I tried, what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently next time.
So the posts here are dated, specific, and honest. When a project has real numbers, I’ll share them. When something needed correcting, I’ll say so. When a project is still just a directory and not yet a proven business, I’ll say that too.
What you’ll find here
- Real builds, step by step — like a 974-HOA directory and a 413-officiant directory, both built with the same loop: I direct, Muse builds, I verify.
- Everyday workflows — the morning routine and daily brief, rental tracking, trip planning, and the small jobs that add up.
- What I learned — not just prompts, but judgment: what to check, what not to claim, and when to stop and fix something by hand.
- Other people’s workflows — as the community grows, featured member workflows from the Facebook group, with credit to the person who shared them.
What this is not
This is not Meta’s blog, and it’s not a tutorial site. I’m not selling a course, and I’m not posting referral codes.
The Facebook group follows the same rules: share a real use case, ask for help building one, or collaborate on a project. No referral codes, no low-effort AI dumps, no spam.
The community
The blog is the diary. The Facebook group — How I Muse: Using Muse for Personal & Business — is where the conversation happens. Videos will repurpose the best diary entries, so the same workflow can be read, discussed, and watched in different forms.
If you use Muse too, I’d love to hear what you’re building. That’s the whole point.
