The example I gave wasn’t a good one. I suggest something else: think of goals as a “module”, it has a function that servers the main objective.
This idea of modules is also found in Dr Duckworth’s book: Grit.

A hunter might have the objective to hunt down prey to satisfy his hunger. But at the time he's leaving for hunting he doesn't know what's exactly out there, he will define goals when he has gained a clear picture of the actual environment. That's when he will decide what to hunt and how.
He could decide to abandon his home and become a nomad, following the prey and have it always visible, and satisfy his main objective (hunting to eat) this way. Is this what you mean with module?
This is exactly what I meant !
