There is no magic formula. All you can do is see more plays by working games or watching games and come up with philosophies that you can always apply. Consistency is something we all struggle with no matter how long we have been officiating. The more experience you get, the more plays you see the more basketball at the level you want to work you see, the more consistent you potentially will be. I know I have to try to work on consistency every game I work. Some games I feel very good, other games I feel I am all over the place. Some times the lack of consistency is based on the way the teams play the game. Other games you are struggling to get a flow because the play is so bad.

Treat every game as a different event. Just remember that officiating is a process and you will never wake up one day and know what you are doing perfectly.
