In My Work, add new task for myself and have it be in Work Requests rather than Working on.

When you click to add new task in the My Work area, would like to create a task for myself and have it be in Work Requests rather than Working on. Our company uses this area as a To Do list to give visibility and plan their work. Not all things are tied to a project/client. Working on should be the items that are in project not all items on the list.
