Your diagram should:
Be number-coordinated with your table of numbered circuit "zones"
Be neat and tidy
Be color coded
Your table/diagram doesn't:
Need to be to scale, or made on computer.
Need to include every single light bulb. You could just say "kitchen lights" if there are several lights in a single room.
The main idea is to be able to divide your house into sections, match them up with the circuit breaker switches (which control a "zone"), and see what stuff is included in each zone.
This is what a circuit breaker looks like:
