Wow, two simple things to keep in mind and you'll have nothing to hate!

That's all???
Turn off VR if your shutter speed is 1/500 or faster... And when you do turn VR on, you need to enable it (half press on the shutter button) for about 1/2 second before triggering the shutter.
The effect is, it should probably be off unless you are fairly sure it will help the next exposure you'll make.

Simple fix for the camera makers....
A button switch on the bottom of the camera right next to the tripod socket. Placing the camera on the tripod automatically turns IS off, and removing it turns IS back on.

Love that idea!

When I turn VR off I put on a headband with big floppy ears attached to it. If by chance I forget to turn it back on the people who point and laugh at me serve as a good reminder. Headbands with big floppy ears are available from Amazon.

I have frequently said I wish there was something on the tripod mount that automatically did this. I NEVER remember! Frankly I never noticed it make a huge difference until the night I shot the super moon. I turned around to shoot the mountains in the last rays of light. Using a tripod and remote, the images were FUZZY!

My flight instructor once told me: "I you think that you can fly without a check list, you need to fly no more", Humm!

I think what you actually hate is forgetting. Join the club.

Lots of technical jobs require a checklist, but surgeons have resisted that idea for years. That's why no one ever dies during an operation, and no tools are ever left inside a patient.
Related comment. We've all seen on TV and in movies how the surgeon says to the nurse, "Scalpel," and she slaps it into his hand. That system was developed by Frank Gilbreth. He and his wife, Lillian, were pioneers in the field of motion study. The book "Cheaper by the Dozen" tells their life story. The Steve Martin movie - not so much. It was Lillian Gilbreth who gave us the kitchen trash can that can be opened with a foot pedal.

If it is that big a deal, then put a reminder on the lens (a sticker or something) to remind you on or off.

I had a reminder on my tripod for awhile. Worked, until it fell off and I lost it.

Dozens die in operating tables and surgical instruments and sponges are often left behind in patients bodies; not a rare occurrence. Not a check list?...

It will get better. Before long you won't even remember if you turned it on or off so that particular problem won't bother you anymore!
You mention VR, so I assume you shoot Nikon. Many of Canon's newer lenses automatically shut off the stabilization when placed on a tripod. I thought Nikon did something similar.
