Checklist Items under MyWork are not intuative

I think the way people view checklist items assigned to them in the My work tab is not effective and is counter intuitive. Right now my checklist items are in my work hidden in a task that is grayed out because I don't own it. I have gotten feedback within my org that they just assumed that meant the task was completed. I think showing the checklist item on top of the task would be a better way to show what checklist items I have coming up due in a given time period.
