Don't throw anything away, Bounce everything down and tag the audio with one of four tags: Fragment, Ideas, Riff, Bin.
Fragment: a section where the idea is there
Ideas: good song starts
Riff: bass lines, guitar riffs etc
Bin: discarded ideas #songwriting
Once you've tagged a lot of stuff, you will discover you have WAY more good ideas than you ever thought you had. You just select one of the tags on the sidebar and with Quickview, easily go through and listen to a bunch of music you created.
I can promise you that not only will you get inspired by your own work, but you will also discover gems that you weren't crazy about initially or, ideas that you got stuck on. You will even find stuff in the bin tag that is a lot better than what you thought it was.
Last year, I took about 20 minutes a day and bounced down everything that I never finished or, demos that didn't go and tagged them. I was shocked by how much good material I had. Things I hated at the moment but now find useful. It's a tremendous resource for your songwriting.
