Anyone throw away a song they've been working on for days?

Oh man that's me right on the dot. I'll spend hours fucking with the filter frequency and envelopes within an Operator instrument or fine tune the attack/decay/sustain/release and filter on each of my samples in the Drum Rack into oblivion and then I'll wonder why 4 hours just went by and I didn't really write much.

I guess the practice is good too though. It results in me slowly building a library of personal Instrument Rack presets. I should really be writing melodies though and be thinking more deeply about song structure.
