Answer 1

If i understand you right , you need this:

setTimeout(DoSomething ,1000);

Edit , thanks to Teemu:

function DoSomething (){
    setTimeout(ContinueDoSomething ,1000);
}
function ContinueDoSomething (){
    // ...
}

And even one more way , may be most effective in some cases:

function DoSomething (){
    setTimeout( function(){
        // ...
    },1000);
}
