Create an extension method for periodic work

I found a great way to work intermittently using the async / await pattern: https://stackoverflow.com/a/167189/

Now what I would like to do is create an extension method so that I can do

someInstruction.DoPeriodic(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));

Is this possible at all, and if, how would you do it?

EDIT:

So far, I have reorganized the code from the above URL into an extension method, but I do not know how from there from there

  public static class ExtensionMethods {
    public static async Task<T> DoPeriodic<T>(this Task<T> task, CancellationToken token, TimeSpan dueTime, TimeSpan interval) {
        // Initial wait time before we begin the periodic loop.
        if (dueTime > TimeSpan.Zero)
            await Task.Delay(dueTime, token);

        // Repeat this loop until cancelled.
        while (!token.IsCancellationRequested) {


            // Wait to repeat again.
            if (interval > TimeSpan.Zero)
                await Task.Delay(interval, token);
        }
    }
}

Is the code "periodic work" access to any of the public members someInstruction? If not, then it makes no sense to use the extension method in the first place.

, , someInstruction SomeClass, - :

public static class SomeClassExtensions
{
    public static async Task DoPeriodicWorkAsync(
                                       this SomeClass someInstruction,
                                       TimeSpan dueTime, 
                                       TimeSpan interval, 
                                       CancellationToken token)
    {
        //Create and return the task here
    }
}

, someInstruction Task ( , ).

UPDATE OP:

, , , . , :

public static class PeriodicRunner
{
public static async Task DoPeriodicWorkAsync(
                                Action workToPerform,
                                TimeSpan dueTime, 
                                TimeSpan interval, 
                                CancellationToken token)
{
  // Initial wait time before we begin the periodic loop.
  if(dueTime > TimeSpan.Zero)
    await Task.Delay(dueTime, token);

  // Repeat this loop until cancelled.
  while(!token.IsCancellationRequested)
  {
    workToPerform();

    // Wait to repeat again.
    if(interval > TimeSpan.Zero)
      await Task.Delay(interval, token);       
  }
}
}

:

PeriodicRunner.DoPeriodicWorkAsync(MethodToRun, dueTime, interval, token);

void MethodToRun()
{
    //Code to run goes here
}

-:

PeriodicRunner.DoPeriodicWorkAsync(() => { /*Put the code to run here */},
   dueTime, interval, token);
