if you're on a mac, Gas Mask is a really good tool to switch between different /etc/hosts files

Also, try Self Control app: http://selfcontrolapp.com It has a black/white list (depending on what you need) of hosts, and lets you set up a timer.

On Windows, there's Focal Filter which changes the hosts file for a given period of time.
