Instructions
1
Open a text editor on your computer, like Notepad, Wordpad or another text editor of your choice. If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the text editor program file and click "Run as Administrator" to properly carry out this process.

2
Click on the "Open" button in the "File" menu of the text editor and browse to the "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc" folder and open the file called "hosts."

3
Add a line to the end of the hosts file in the following format: "127.0.0.1 sitetoblock.com," where "sitetoblock.com" is the site you want to block from your networked computer.

4
Save your hosts file and restart your web browser. The website that you typed in is now blocked from access.

i know this method, but as i said i want block by blocking certain days or hours. Ex, i want block facebook from 8am~12pm, then from 12:01pm~2.30 they can open it, and lastly 2.31pm~5pm its blocked again.
 
Maybe you need an app or something for that. Do some research on google or any search engine and find out how can you do that. I don't know any app, but i think it is possible.
