Natural
Personally I say "I'll do it after...", but "that" is 100% correct too.
If writing this, I think it's more correct to use a semicolon or full stop rather than a comma, but I don't think people care that much anyway :L :)

I agree that the correct punctuation should be a semi-colon or a period between the two independent clauses. It's incorrect to separate with a comma unless a conjunction is used.
