Question: Should I say "these actions, these or this"
Sentence: I would allocate new tasks and review our existing tasks during our group meeting. I would set a deadline for each new task and monitor our progress. I did these actions / these / this to influence the team.
My opinion:
"these actions" can be used, because I did more than 1 action, such as, allocating new tasks and reviewing existing tasks.
"this"can be used, because the word "this" refer to the whole situation and all the things I did.
"these"cannot be used.
Thanks

You can use all 3, but I agree that 'these' is less common.
