agree  Octavia Veresteanu: Nu cred ca exista corespondent in limba romana, in afara de traducerea mot-a-mot. Si un articol interesant gasit despre traducerea proverbului http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/r...

Deocamdata asta este varianta moderna. Mai caut siuna traditionala dar este posibil ca ideea in sine sa fie de natura recenta si traditionalmente munca sa fie o actiune nobila, nu?

agree  Annamaria Amik: Mie-mi place şi sunt de acord cu varianta ta, dar se spune că munca îl înnobilează pe om :) Eventual "munca fără distracţie îndobitoceşte", ca să fie mulţumiţi şi cei care adoră să lucreze doar de dragul muncii.

Prea multă muncă strică / nu face bine


Explanation:
Cred că „prea multă muncă” implică deja ideea că muncești fără să te relaxezi/distrezi.
