I think the very best ref (and I do like Stedman’s stuff) is this:

The Dictionary of Eye Terminology. 5^th or 6^th edition should be out now. By Barbara Cassin and Melvin L. Rubin. From Gainesville, FL. I think it is offered on Amazon but not sure.

That if you can replace the word with "it is" then it is "it's."  If you can't, then it is "its."

Examples - antecubital not ante-cubitalAlso Correct - antithesis, bitemporal, counterproductive, defibrillated, extrapyramidal, infraumbilical, interpersonal, intracranial, microhematuria, midline, nontender, nondistended, nonfocal, nonspecific, noncontributory, noncompliance, nonicteric, nonsmall, overestimate, overweight, preoperative, postoperative, posttraumatic, pseudogout, semicircular, sublingual, superimposed, supramammary, transvaginal, ultraviolet, underweight, weightbearing.

Do use a hyphen with prefixes ending in a or i and a base word beginning with the same letter. Example - anti-inflammatory.
Do use a hyphen when compounded with the prefix self. 
Example - self-administered, self-monitored. 
For Clarification - Use a hyphen after a prefix if not using a hyphen would change the meaning of the word.  Examples - re-cover (to cover again) versus recover (regain)

Post is in that list above so I make it part of the word in most cases unless it should just be a stand-alone word. 

I like using the first two letters of each word in word pairs, like refa = respiratory failure. If I have other word pairs that have the same letters, I add the last letter twice (or more), like refaa = renal failure. If there was a third word pair, it would be refaaa. This would not work for some people, but it's very fast for me. I also double the last letter when the shortcut would be a real word otherwise, like poree (instead of pore) for posterior region. With this system (and looking at your cheat window at the bottom), you can keep adding on other phrases. If I use acfr for acute fracture, I might use acfrd for acute fracture or dislocation.

That's my main trick, but there are lots others I use. I do add individual words to my expander (especially long words) with no shortcuts so I can start to type and find the word in my screen to just plop the rest in automatically (sorta like how AutoText works).

A lot of what makes sense to you will not make sense to someone else. You just need to find what works for you. Keep trying things out because it can't hurt to keep adding or changing. Not even one day goes by without me adding lots of new entries. The key is to always be looking for ways to type fewer strokes.
