My Sites & Tasks list

I'm looking for a way to allow users to be able to view all tasks that have been assigned to them triggered by approval workflows running on different libraries throughout SharePoint.  I don't currently have My Sites enabled but was wondering if turning this on would allow for creation of a list that would show this info?  If not, any ideas on how to go about doing so?  Thank You

One approach is to ensure that all task lists you create or that your  customers create are based upon the Tasks template. In SharePoint 2013, Search harvests all tasks, correlating them by user and then populating the user's My Tasks list in the user's My Site.  The Microsoft document download provides details.  No programming or workflow necessary.

Thanks Stephan, I see that the tasks aggregation feature applies to SP 2013.  Is there something similar available in SP 2010?
