Choose your notifications
Open the organization menu, select My profile and open Notifications.
Task notifications are set separately for each role you can have on a task: assignee, creator and reviewer. Open one, such as As assignee.
Each switch controls one notification, such as Task reminders before a task is due and Overdue tasks once its due date has passed. Turn off the ones you don't need.

In Tasks, Overdue assigned to me lists your tasks that have passed their due date. If it's empty, you're up to date.
Waiting for my approval shows the tasks you need to review.
