Electrical Question: How do I add new electrical wiring to my shed?

I have a shed where I’m putting in new electrical wiring. I have a double box, with a switch and an outlet. I have a wire leaving the box to the light, and my source wire also comes into the same box. I also have a wire leaving the box, going to other outlets. I have a working knowledge of electricity, so a wiring diagram will would be helpful.

Thank you.
