I dont know either if bill gates writes down goals or not, but what you said summarized what goal setting is all about, you said "He (bill gates) just knew what he wanted and went for it, at 100%)." This is the point in goal setting, to get lazy people to "know what they want, and go for it". Sure some people like maybe bill gates don't need to set goals to know what they want and go for it, but most people need otherwise they will get distracted.
