I suspect the origin is Proverbs 16:27 - "Idle hands are the devil's workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece." I'm currently on a work sabbatical, and while it has been great, I reached a point when I had to start actively scheduling and doing things or I'd go a bit crazy.

I'm sure humanity could adapt, but would need time to adjust to the new reality.
