constructive pessimism 

Share definition Flag
Believing one's own work is not good enough or that something in their work is missing, causing them to revise or even restart their work.
A writer had completed five pages of a script before feeling that their story just wasn't good enough, and so constructive pessimism struck them as they searched for that missing oomph.
