Compensation, in this way, might be seen to mean "for money", when I 
believe you mean "to make up the obligation."  So maybe something like...

* I don't want to do homework now, but will make it up, tomorrow.

* I don't want to do homework now, but will spend twice as long doing 
homework tomorrow, to compensate.
