What is the best way to motivate yourself to improve?

the Arnold Schwarzenegger approach: put your weaknesses on display so others can see them and you get social pressure to improve.

As a young bodybuilder, his calves weren’t as developed as the rest of his body. Instead of hiding them, he cut off the bottoms of the sweat pants he worked out in so that every day, everyone else in the gym could see his small calves. It was constant motivation to him to improve this area of his physique.
