You can use a magnet to separate the iron filings from the mixture, as they are magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet. After removing the iron filings, you can dissolve the salt in water and then filter out the sand and wood chips. Finally, you can use tweezers to pick out the wood chips from the sand.
A magnet can be used to quickly separate the iron paperclips from the mixture, as the paperclips are magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet. To separate the sand from the mixture, pouring the mixture through a sieve can help separate the larger sand particles from the smaller iron paperclips.
Heating the mixture helps to dissolve solutes and increase the reaction rate. Cooling the mixture can help separate out impurities or crystallize products for easier isolation. Both heating and cooling can also help control the temperature of a reaction to prevent unwanted side reactions.
When particles separate and spread evenly throughout a mixture, it is called diffusion.
Some common methods to separate a mixture include filtration, distillation, chromatography, and evaporation. Filtration is used to separate solids from liquids, while distillation can separate liquids based on their boiling points. Chromatography is effective for separating different components in a mixture based on their interactions with a stationary phase, and evaporation can be used to separate a solvent from a solute.

In practical terms, you don't. When people say it's possible to separate mixtures ... but not compounds ... by purely physical methods, those hypothetical "methods" include things like very fine tweezers and a strong magnifying glass.
When water is added to a mixture, the different components of the mixture can dissolve in the water or form separate layers depending on their solubility and density. Water can act as a solvent and help separate the components of the mixture, making it easier to distinguish between them.
You depend on the physical state of the constituents to separate a mixture
One common process to separate alcohol from a mixture is fractional distillation. This involves heating the mixture to vaporize the alcohol, then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. The boiling points of the components in the mixture will help separate them based on their different volatilities.
Tweezers, a magnifying glass, and a lot of patience may work in some cases.

One way to demagnetize tweezers is to rub them along a piece of unmagnetized iron or steel in a consistent motion. This can help disrupt and realign the magnetic domains in the tweezers, reducing their magnetization. Another method is to subject the tweezers to rapid heating and cooling cycles, which can also help eliminate the magnetic field.
