Dj'ing with 3 decks (house/techno/disco)

Hello,
I've been using 2 decks since the start of this year and as of late I've decided to attempt to use 3 decks. But I was looking for advice on how I should use them. Like a routine/system of transitioning songs, to make the changes more gradual. Any advice would be appreciated.
Note: I am using Pioneer DDJ-SR's, so I have 4 deck capability but not 4 physical decks

Using a DDJ-SZ, i personally just muck around & see what i can do. Honestly, such a rewarding way of learning. Have had my controller for a month now & am finding new things everyday, through trying new things!

I've been doing that, just playing around and learning combinations. Just wondered if there was like a routine I could base myself on.
How long have you been djing if I might ask?

Don't use a routine way every transition, you'll become too predictable & the crowd will get bored. Only one year, but since djed clubs.
