I wouldn’t really say there’s a “best” way, just cut whereever your heart desires

Im a procrastinator too but damn I feel like this was something you could see coming a year ago at least
Anyway if you just chop anywhere it will likely spawn a couple nodes and continue growing.
You could chop the top 2/3 so it doesn’t get too weird.

Chop it and propagate!!!

Do what rich people do, raise your ceilings. Only the poors lower their floors.
Seriously, I would start training the top to curve along the window sill. It is looking for more light.

Cut the plant into three pieces. Keep them in water until they develop roots. Then, plant all three pieces in a larger pot with good drainage.

Chop it about two thirds of the way down on the stem and prop the cutting. It should have been chopped and propped a while ago. This will make it bushier

Cut back far enough so that it has room to grow new branches. You’ll need to stay on top of cutting the top sprouts off periodically in order to get it to be bushier. Giving it as much light as you can will also help a lot. I put mine outside, in full sun, during the summer for exactly this reason.
But also, you can air layer it if you want to root the new pieces before cutting them off. Obviously, you would only need to do this if you want more plants, lol
Propagation is a slippery slope

You can cut it and root the cutting in water. I’d postpone the cutting to late winter or early spring though.
