I take a lot of screenshots these days. Fortunately, I use a
really handful shortcut that has saved me probably many hours
until now from having to explain something with words to
someone else. I hope these quick shortcuts will also be
beneficial for you too.

beneficial for you too.
The shortcut that I use the most is: Shift-Command-4
After you press these keys, you can take a select a portion of
the screen and take a screenshot of that. This capture is then
saved in your Desktop with a name like
Screen Shot 2019-03-31 at 8.29.48 PM. You can change
the place where they are saved by pressing Shift-Command-5 and
going to Options.
Now you can import it somewhere, or send it to your
colleagues.
There are also other shortcuts like capturing a window, or the
entire screen, which you can choose after pressing:
Shift-Command-5.
As I said, these can be seen as simple things, but I have seen
people who were surprised when they heard that these exist
inside your Mac OS and that you can start using them right
away, without having to install anything.
