Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a() = 1,2,4,7,... [ A073158 ], adjacent sums = 3,6,11... [ A073159 ] and 2nd adjacent sums = 9,17,... [ A073160 ] are disjoint but not monotonic; adjoin next free number to A073158 to construct three sequences that together include all positive integers.
