Since you are on Confluence Server you can use a user macro to wrap the task report macro to supply the current user. The way you can do this would be to create a task report macro with all the parameters set up the way you want. Make sure to set yourself as the user (we will override this in a bit). You will need the Confluence Source Editor for this next part. It's an add-on made by Atlassian. This will give you the option to look at the storage format for your page which is a a semi-html looking format. Look for the xml for your macro setup. It should look something like this ...

<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="{some numbers and letters}" ac:name="tasks-report-macro" ac:schema-version="1">
    <ac:parameter ac:name="assignees">
        <ri:user ri:userkey="{some numbers and letters}"/>
    </ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

I accepted the defaults for most of the parameters so my example above only shows the assigness parameter. Yours may show more if you change some of the parameters from the default. But this will get us the storage format we will need to create a user macro. From here we can create a user macro where we will use all the settings you set but override the assignees section.

So, go create a new user macro with these settings ...

Macro Name:
current_user_task_report

Macro Title:
Current User Task Report

Description:
Create a report of tasks for the current user from specific locations, people, status and more.

Macro Body Processing:
No macro body

Template:

## @noparams
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="tasks-report-macro" ac:schema-version="1">
 <ac:parameter ac:name="assignees">
  <ri:user ri:userkey="$action.remoteUser.key"/>
 </ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

 

So the Template above will basically just be what you grabbed from the source editor but you will change the ...

<ri:user ri:userkey="{some numbers and letter}"/>

to 

<ri:user ri:userkey="$action.remoteUser.key"/>

Then save your user macro and use it wherever you want a task report that shows only the current user's tasks.
