I've always looked at the runway being nested in an outline.

40k feet: Life Vision
-30k feet: Short Term Goals
--20k feet: Focus Areas,
---Runway-10k feet: Daily tasks,

In order to come up with each level, a person asks the question:
what things do I need to do to move the parent item forward.

Example:

40k: Bring Joy to the world
-30k: Nurture my family
-30k: Give to the community

What things do I need to do to nurture my family

40k: Bring Joy to the world
-30k: Nurture my family
--20k: Spend Quality time with family
--20k: Provide for my family
-30k: Give to the community

what things do i need to do to provide for my family

40k: Bring Joy to the world
-30k: Nurture my family
--20k: Spend Quality time with family
--20k: Provide for my family
---10k: Work in the factory to bring home a paycheck
---10k: Move to better house / location
-30k: Give to the community

Whether or not this can be done in software without being unwieldy is another matter.
