My understanding is that the amount you work does not affect your parnassa (beyond a minimum hishtaelus). There could be other benefits to working though such as, keeping busy as not to since, opportunity to be honest in your work and do mitzvos etc. Another piece has to do with our level of emuna and training ourselves to realize that parnassa is only from Hashem. Similarly someone who doesn’t really deeply believe and understand that parnassah is only from Hashem risks going OTD if he stops working and ends up poor. So that person has to work too. Most of what I’m saying is from michtav meliyahu and chovos lvavos.
